    FireFox, Trackpad Scrolling Windows 7 Problem.


    Hello all!

    I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) on a new Sony Vaio laptop. I am having trouble with the scroll facility using the trackpad when using Fire Fox 3.5. Unlike Google Chrome, Opera and IE 8 the small 'scrolling icon' doesn't appear in Fire Fox. However I do have some functionality when scrolling but it is very intermittent. I can use Fire Fox ok using a standard USB mouse though.

    I have updated all drivers from Symantics for the trackpad/mouse and searched many forums for a solution but have had no luck.

    Is this is bug that will be fixed or a fluke? I absolutely love FireFox - it is the hands down best browser out there and don't want to switch to IE8, Chrome or Opera because they just aren't as good.

    Many, many thanks.

I was running Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.17 when this problem began, so when version 4.0 was released I gathered the slightest ounce of hope that my problem may be fixed upon updating. Which it wasn't. The issue I have is that when I am running more than one tab, I will begin to scroll down one...
