I'm using the latest version of Firefox (31.0) on Windows 8.1 Pro. I wanted to imitate OS X way of scrolling in the browser window called "natural" scrolling. I edited the registry setting for my logitech mouse and the scrolling works perfectly the way I wanted in every single window on my system with only one exception, Firefox browser. Somehow Firefox is set to use old way of scrolling and doesn't respect the windows registry settings, like every other window. Is there a way to change or reverse scrolling direction?

thank you Roman

hello roman, try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y. double-click it and change its value to -100.
