since adding Firefox 4 to my Windows Vista laptop, my scroll button no longer works in Firefox.
Using a 2-year old Lenovo X61 thinkpad running Windows Vista, there is a scroll button between the left and right buttons. It still functions in Outlook, and it used to function in all iterations of Firefox 3. Since updating to Firefox 4 yesterday, no scrolling and I have to click on the slide on the right side of the screen. This is cramping my style tremendously. I am not having the same trouble on my Windows 7 desktop or laptop.

Hm. I was not aware Firefox 4 disabled this. Then again, I'm still using 3.x.
Well, you can re-enable it by typing about:config into the address bar. Click the button to confirm that you want to be here.
Type autoScroll into the Filter box. Look at the general.autoScroll property that comes up. Does it say "false" under the Value column? If that's the case, double click it to set it back to "true."
This will enable the scroll button.

it has not been disabled, and if anyone is fumbling with the "about config" thing, there is one more way. Go to, options-->advanced-->General. Under the "browsing" title, check the box that is to the left of "autoscrolling". thats all
Thank you, ExpHP and plume. I checked both possibilities, and in each case my set-up is already as you say it should be.
And I still can't scroll. Seriously cramping my style.
Try this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605357 it can helps. But my ThinkPad not scrolls yet and I don't know why.
I was able to download a driver from IBM's website for the track thing, and since downloading the new driver it is working.
