The scrolling does work:

on the Firefox "New tab" page with the "Top sites" list

on the 3 tabs that are shown when I click the address box (History, Top sites, and Bookmarks)

The scrolling does *not* work

on any other webpages

So the problem is not that Firefox does not recognize the scroll wheel or two finger swipe gesture. It does recognize it. But it has for some reason disabled it for webpages.

Apparently this is the bug in question: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228

It seems a fix exists, one hopes it will come to the betas soonish...
