A page loads only when I'm moving my mouse

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and everything seems to be running great..., except for two thing I'm noticing. Any page I try loading, only loads if I move the mouse. The browser doesn't seem to recognize the scroll wheel of the mouse (IE does)

For example: lets say I'm trying to load the page www.firefox.com.

On the tab that is trying to load the page, it says "Connecting..." however, the spinning thing that tells you the page is loaded, doesn't spin. As soon as I move the mouse, it starts to spin, but if I stop using the mouse, the spinning stops as well.

So to get the page to load completely, I need to keep moving the mouse.

The other issue: Firefox 4 doesn't seem to recognize the scroll wheel of my mouse. I tried IE, that works just fine, but Firefox 4 doesn't.
