Title: Firefox...
Description: ...my laptop hates it.

I use Firefox on the desktop, but I've been using the laptop so much more lately because it's convenient!
My laptop mouse pad thingamajig has a built in scroller (just like the scroll balls on a mouse). However, if I am in FF, it REFUSES to scroll! I have to actually do it old school and click the down arrow. I'll be the first to admit I'm totally spoiled by the scroller and this just doesn't sit well with me. To the point that if I'm on the laptop, I've resorted to using IE. :boo:
Question is: Is this a setting in Firefox that I don't know about or haven't found yet? Or is it really a matter of my laptop hating firefox? This is the only place that the scroller doesn't work and it's extremely frustrating!

I know in the options - Advanced - there is a scrolling option.

Auto and smooth scrolling are both checked. :( It looks like it *wants* to scroll (I get the scroll icon), but nothing moves. :cry:

Doesn't sound like you have problems scrollin' in IE....

It's a HP Pavilion ZV6100. No, no problems scrolling in IE whatsoever...or anything else for that matter. It's just Firefox. :unsure:
