275926 - Mouse problems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236257

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[d strobele]

I recently purchased an GE optical mouse  with a dual scroll wheel function. One
of the wheels will scroll the normal up and down on a web page, while the other
scrolls left to right. Once I installed my mouse I realized that the "left to
right" scroll wheel doesn't work while I am using Firefox. However if I open the
same page in Internet Explorer, (which I don't like to do) the mouse will scroll
up and down, as well as left to right. I have fairly limited computer knowledge,
so I can't be certian if it is a GE flaw in their mouse design, or if it is a
bug that still needs to be worked out with your wonderful program. Either way, I
hope my comments help to make your program even better.

Thank you for your time,
Dave Strobele

I got a new optical mouse and it won't scroll at all in firefox.  It seems to
work everywhere else but not in this browser.   I too would appreciate any help
 thanks
