virtual scrolling. It uses a Synaptics Pointing Device driver with virtual
scrolling enabled. Virtual scrolling works fine in XP and IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Put finger on right edge of touchpad
2.Move finger vertically

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Scrolled up or down the page.

I am using the Littlefox theme but this has happened since i got firefox.the
Synaptics Pointing Device driver version is v7.11.9 12Aug04.

For all Windows XP users, while reading thru this bug reports i decided to go
and check out synoptics website and download the driver for Windows 2000/XP ver
8.1.2, after downloading the zip file and installing it i was prompted to
restart my computer, so i did and woala, it worked.

I am not sure about how to use this site. I AM sure this bug is NOT, REPEAT NOT fixed.  I have downloaded the most recent version and my laptop WILL NOT scroll with it.  I have updated the drivers from synaptics, no dice.  (HP pavilion dv1331se Notebook running Windows XP with a synaptics touch pad) In disgust, I just switched back to IE.
