I have Firefox 27.0.1 installed on my Mac running OSX 10.9.2. Suddenly, I am unable to scroll down and up using the mouse scroll feature and the track pad on my computer. I can only scroll down and up using the arrow keys on my keyboard. This problem occurs only when I use Firefox. Therefore, it is a Firefox problem. Is there anybody who can help me to resolve this problem?

Note that on Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.
The idea is that a touch pad is used that doesn't require the scroll bars to be visible and thus have more screen estate for the browsing area.
You can make the scroll bars always visible: 

System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bar > Choose "Always"
