The mouse wheel isn't properly working as it doesn't scroll the webpage. Curiously, when the Firefox window is not in focus scrolling works fine. Scrolling using the third button also works and so do the scroll bar and arrows.

I have tried resetting Firefox, but the problem did not resolve itself. Also, obviously, the mouse wheel works fine in all other programs, except Firefox.

Hey Eve, the problem seems to have solved itself last night (somehow). Everything is fine now. I'm still not sure what happened.

search for "scroll" in about:config and see if something got turned to false that should be set to true. It'll be bolded if it has been changed.
