Mouse scrolling is broken on my Mac using an Apple magic mouse and the trackpad on my MacBook Pro running Maverick on the latest OS version (10.9.2).

I noticed this problem on Firefox v 27 and at the same time saw there was an update for version v 28 so I installed it and the problem persisted. I have disabled all of my add-ons and the problem still persists. I have Chrome and Spotify open (along with other programs) and scrolling works as expected in those programs while not working in FireFox alone.

When i restart Firefox (still with all add-ons disabled) scrolling works on the inital page that is loaded but as soon as I open a new tab, doesn't matter where the new tab goes, scrolling stops after a few seconds of having the new tab open.

I have tried the "always show scrollbars" workaround but that didn't work nore do I want to always display scrollbars anyway. Scrolling is subsequently broken in every tab until I restart FF and the cycle repeats.

Hi Tonygotskilz,

Thank you for your question. Please check to make sure your drivers are up to date Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL . 

If the issue persists please try to disable the scrolling acceleration in Preferences > Advanced > General.

Please post back to let us know if this helps!
