Since installing version 4 of Firefox the touchpad scroll function has stopped working. All other programs continue to scroll correctly and the touchpad driver is uptodate (Lenovo UltraNav).

Try this:
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.
