I have the same problem. My laptop is a Lenovo X200, on XP Pro.

External mouse wheel works, but the scroll button on the laptop itself doesn't.

I have installed the latest touchpad driver and utility available from Lenovo, and it didn't fix the problem. It appears Lenovo has not updated the driver for this touchpad since 2008 (XP & Vista) or 2009 (Windows 7). The latest version of the utility program is from 2010 (Ultra Nav utility ver. 2.13). This is a deal breaker for FF 4.0 for me, so I uninstalled 4.0 and reinstalled 3.6.16, so I could get touchpad scrolling to work again. I believe the SL300 has been discontinued by Lenovo, so it seems unlikely they will be interested in updating the driver or the utility program. I hope the Firefox programmers will fix this in an update to FF 4, since the problem only affects FF 4.

The issue is caused by a buggy implementation of the GPU hardware acceleration (and has nothing to do with the touchpad driver...).

To disable it, unselect the check box of "Use hardware acceleration when available" (Options -> Advanced).

I had the same problem with my Thinkpad T60 with Win XP Pro. I upgraded Thinkpad UltraNav Pointing Device Driver to the latest version 15.2.14.0 from 17-Feb-11 and it solved the problem. Now scrolling is working.

Guessing that the ones that got it working after driver update actually used Synaptics device. As you have an APLS device this thread might help you:

none of the above did actually work in my case so I think I need to downgrade to the older version of Firefox :-(
