I'm a user of ThinkPad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint and what solved the issue for me is that I changed the scrolling and magnifying glass functions to Scrolling, Auto-Select.

Its the mouse style scroller, but way better than nothing.

thanks for your reply. when i choose the "auto-select" for scrolling, it again uses the "standard" scrolling for Firefox and it is not working. i have to choose "smooth" scrolling but this time i cannot use scrolling for more other applications which i will not do just for using firefox.

This has been irritating me since Firefox 3. You solved it. Great job.

Type about:config in the address bar, Firefox would ask if you want to access the settings, click the button indicating you understand the risk.

When the list of configurations come up, type "trackpoint" into the Filter area, you will see a ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled" setting, change that from -1 to 1

this is the solution. thanks a lot.

Thank you yunlin12 for your solution, it works perfectly.

Best regards.

I have the same problem and ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled setting does not solve the problem.
