I use the track point button and scroll button on my thinkpad T61. The scroll button works fine in all other applications and worked fine in Firefox v3.6. Now I have to click on the up and down buttons of the the scroll bar or manually move the scroll bar.

Go to Your UltraNav Device Settings (Fn + F8). Choose 'manage settings', then 'UltraNav' tab, and 'Settings' button for Trackpoint. At the 'Trackpoint properties' window choose 'Settings' button again and change scrolling from 'Standard' to 'Smooth'. Works for pages, but unfortunately still doesn' t work for tabs if You have for example 20 tabs You cannot scroll them.

ok, I' ve just found the solution for 'Standard' scrolling:

-in the URL input write "about:config",

- look for "ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled" in the filter,

- right mouse click to "modify",

- change value from "-1" to "1",

- restart FF 4.0. The scroll icon is blinking like crazy while scrolling, but works fine. :)

Thank you very much. Both Solutions work. I like standard scrolling better and the blinking is not an issue.

"Smooth Scrolling" is an inferior and totally different and unsatisfactory solution to this scroll issue. The "config" hack doesn't work for many, if not most of us either. Someone, please FIX!

I had similar problem with scrolling on my ThinkPad in Firefox. I was able to scroll in most applications I was using but not in FF. Finally I found out the solution (also described on my blog: http://marekhamerlik.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/thinkpad-track-point-scroll-in-firefox/ ):

 1. restore old drivers
 2. set scroll to standard (control panel>mouse>track point: choose scrolling for middle button setting and additionally in settings… choose standard scroll type) – so now everything works as before
 3. edit tp4table.dat in your system (should be in c:\windows\system32\) by adding line:
   *,*,firefox.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,1,9
   before/above the line:
   [AutoScrollTable]
   - now scrolling (including vertical) should work in Firefox

This probably can be used in similar way for other apps you have problem with.
