While scrolling up or down with mouse scroll wheel the browser behaves
erratically, in the sense that instead of stopping at top or bottom of the page
it  lands in previous page as if the user has pressed 'Back' button of the browser.

Try a more recent build and see if the problem persists.

I have been using the latest build 2.6.5-1.358 of Fedora Core 2 and I tried to 
use two subsequent builds, but both of them freeze while booting at 'new 
hardware detection' stage.  I do not know how to report the hanging bugs but I 
request you may like to pass on to the developers dealing with the same so that 
this can serve as feedback to the developers team.
Thanks

Try newer Mozilla builds, and report both the system and browser build ID.

I am able to reproduce this every time I use FF 1.0PR.  Tried it with a new
profile, tried it with tonight's build and I have the same behaviour.  I have
completely uninstalled FF (zapped all associated dirs and reg keys) and still
have the problem.

When scrolling too fast, FF pages forwards or backwards in a completely spazzy
manner.  

Microsoft Intellimouse USB, no mouse software and all about:config/mousewheel.*
items are "default".

This is VERY irritating.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
