After updating to FF4 the scroll button on my Acer 5720Z Laptop is not working. I had no such problem with FF3.6, if I connect my usb mouse this scrollwheel functions normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Firefox
Actual Results:  
Firefox not responding to scroll button input.

Expected Results:  
Scrolling action

I've experience the same problem with OpenOffice
Could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

How about with a new, empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

You could try a clean install of FF 4.0

Thanks for the suggestions. Tried safe mode and clean profile, sadly neither solves the problem. 
I'll comment when I got a clean isntall of 4.0
The scroll button is working now. I suspect a simple restart of Windows made Firefox detect the button.
Thanks.
