The questions sais it all really... It just doesnt work - no matter what i do, the scroll function just doesnt work.

I remember this was the reason why i went back to the old version earlier - but now many sites require the latest version of FF...

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.

Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.


To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
  • Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Hello, and thanks for answering.

I tried this but it didn't help. I also tried some modifications to scrolling in the advanced options meny, but none worked.
