My touchpad scrolling has stopped working for websites (including the Firefox website!). And when I scroll using the scrollbar on the right, it can only scroll down halfway on the page. Sometimes up and down keys for scrolling do not work. However, I can scroll in Windows with no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello William, you can first try opening your Firefox browser and enter "about:config" into the search bar. After clicking "Accept the Risk and Continue", type "ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled" and it is most likely set to -1 in your case. The -1 value is the default value and it is for autodetect, so you should click the pencil icon on the right side of the row and change the value from -1 to 1 so it is enabled. After that, click the tick icon to save the change. Restart your Firefox browser and hopefully it solves your touchpad scrolling issue. Hope it helps!
