When I enter Firefox and want to scroll down to look at the articles on the page it doesn't scroll properly. Instead of scrolling by line it scrolls by the article first then by the line. when on the solutions page the scrolling doesn't work at all. I have to go to the far right of the page, put the pointer on it and press the left mouse button and slide my fingers down on the mouse pad to scroll the page properly. I am using Windows 11 Home 64 bit. Can't software people leave well enough alone? If something works don't change it!

This scrolling issue could be a problem with "X-Mouse Button Control" should have been fixed with the release XMBC 2.20, so make sure to update to the latest version. See also:

I have no idea what X-Mouse Button Control is or where to find it. Firefox says I'm up to date.
