Whenever I have an open PDF file in a tab in Firefox, it renders me unable to scroll using my laptop's touchpad scrolling. When I use it, even after clicking in my active tab, it actually is scrolling the PDF instead of my current tab.

Hi rawbinator,

Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? I'd take a look at View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer. There is a lot of information in there and it lists a couple of different PDF add-ons. I'd try both to see if it is localized to just one.

Hopefully this helps!

If anyone else has the same problem, I installed the Sumatra program at the link posted by Matt_G and scrolling works fine now.
