I cannot scroll ever since I updated to firefox 4. My scrolling works in ALL other applications. My settings in about:configs are set to the 0,1,true as dictated in the support article on scrolling. I do not have caret browsing enabled. Help?

No answers I am afraid, but some questions that may help those wanting to look into this:

  • what is the pointing device in use ? trackpad, centrewheel mouse etc
  • how are you scrolling and what works and does not work
    • vertical scrolling, horizontal, or both
    • how are you trying to scroll, mousewheel, scroll bars, arrow keys on keyboard

Presumably the articles you looked at were cannot scroll with mouse wheel or touchpad & unable to scroll with arrow keys is that correct (I notice also there is mention in another thread of a preference ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled )
