I have a logitech mx 500 mouse, which has buttons above and below the scroll
wheel which can (and have) been assigned to "cruise" - they act like i'm
scrolling the wheel.  They worked fine in ff 1.0, and they continue to work fine
in other apps.  After upgrading to ff 1.0.1, they only work occasionally.  it
seems like some internal state thing, rather than a page related issue: i
searched for the bug in bugzilla, and was able to navigate the page with the
cruise buttons.  i then switched to outlook webmail, which i had in another tab.
 the cruise buttons did not work there, and when i switched back to the bugzilla
tab, they would no longer work there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a logitech mouse with cruise buttons
2. Open a page which is tall enough to need scrolling
3. Try and scroll with the cruise buttons
4. If it works, surf around a bit and return to 3.
i have noticed that if another application has focus, and in front of ff, when i
hover over ff and use the cruise buttons, they work reliably.  when i switch
focus to ff, they stop working.  switch back to the other app, cruise works
again, etc.
