When I'm viewing a pdf file from the firefox browser, the scrolling feature of my touch pad stops working for other tabs.

I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite L640. The touch pad is a Synaptics PS/2 port TouchPad.

To answer this question we need to know what your Touch pad's operating system is and the version of the operating system we also need to know the version of firefox you are running on the touch pad.

Same prob here. Also, a little scroll bar pops up next to the mouse when attempting to scroll within Firefox. Comp info: Firefox 7.0.1, Adobe Reader X 10.1.1, Samsung RV511 + Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Synaptics PS/2 Version 15.0.22.0.
