going to firefox 4 the track point scroll up and down on a page feature does not work. Without this using firefox 4 is worthless.. example when a web 4 is 5-6 screens long on holds down the middle clicker on the keyboard and uses the trackpoint pointer on the keyboard to move around on the page. so how do i go back to the older version of firefox> i cant find it anywhere

It's a about:config setting.

Type about:config into address bar, hit enter, Firefox would ask if you want to access the settings, say yes you know 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. Now you should be able to scroll using trackpoint and middle mouse button on the trackpad again.
