Firefox won't let my laptop scrollwheel scroll up or down
This is confusing me very much because I have never had this problem before, with the previous FF version.
pg-up and pg-down works, but my laptop scrollwheel won't. This is starting to really get on my nerves, because using the pg up/down buttons tears on them and it's really slow...
I'm starting to wonder if the problem is because I have to many tabs open. The scroller does work when I open a new window next to the one I'm using right now. But as mentioned earlier, I never had this problem with the previous FF.
I really hope someone can help me because I don't want to switch over to a new internet browser or close my tabs... I really want to keep my tabs, this is why I chose FF. It can save and keep my tabs exactly as I left them. No matter if I turn off internet or my entire computer.
I've tried closing FF off and on, restarting my laptop and even some searching on my own on what to do. So far, no luck...
I'm using a packard bell laptop, and I have windows XP

I think it happens because a PDF is open in another tab. It actually scrolls the PDF up and down in the other tab, you just can't see it. Super annoying. I use PDFs all the time and am thinking of switching to Chrome if this doesn't get resolved soon.
