Why can't I use virtual scrolling on the touchpad on my laptop with the new version 5 of Firefox?
Virtual scrolling: being able to drag my finger along the right border of the touchpad to scroll up/down pages.

Thanks for your suggestion mha007, but it did not work. I am still able to virtual scroll on pdf files that are opened in Firefox or if use another browser like Internet Explorer.

You can try to set the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled to 0 or 1 on the about:config page to see if that makes it work.
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 or changed via the right-click context menu.
