User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Pages with Bruce Schneier's blog entries usually don't scroll with the mouse
wheel.  They sometimes scroll a little bit, but it usually freezes up and then I
can only scroll using the keyboard or with the scrollbar.

This was true under Firefox 1.0.2 and is still true under firefox 1.0.6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page.
2. Start scrolling with the mouse wheel, up and down until the page stops moving.
3. Bang head on keyboard.

Works for me. Do you see this in the latest builds?
