Apple mouse no longer scrolls down in Firefox

Today my mouse stopped scrolling down or up in Firefox, though scrolling side to side still works. This is only happening in Firefox. I just downloaded 30.0 and that didn't help. The about:config settings for scrolling are ok. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this in Firefox?

Only the mouse was affected. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and it works now. Thanks for your reply.

Does this only affects the mouse and can you still scroll with the keyboard?

Can you move the scroll bar thump with the left mouse button pressed?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
