After I updated to Firefox 7, the scrolling feature on the laptop touch pad would not work. My OS is Windows 7. I also updated my other laptop and the same thing happened. That one has Windows Vista as it's OS

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
  • Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Thanks for your reply, I'm not very techy but I did manage to get to the page you said. However I could not file the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled. So I'm at a loss still.
