If the scroll button (wheel) is clicked & if you switch to any other open window
& come back to the firefox window, the imprint still remains.

Reproducible: Always

2.If the scroll button (wheel) is clicked & if you switch to any other open
window & come back to the firefox window, the imprint still remains.
3.

Actual Results:  
The scroll imprint is left behind on the browser window

Expected Results:  
Should not allow to scroll when there is not enough content to scroll or should
not allow to scroll when no scroll bars are present.
Pretty shure this is a wontfix. Get it too with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows

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.

The latest beta releases can be obtained from:
Firefox:     http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/
Thunderbird: http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/releases/1.5beta1.html
Seamonkey:   http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
I experienced this behavior with the latest version of firefox (1.61a1). I
believe there are two issues here. The first one is that firefox should not go
into auto scroll mode if there is no content to scroll. This is what the
reporter mentioned in expected result.

The second one is that auto scroll mode is not cancelled even if focus is moved
to another window or another tab. It seems that auto scroll mode is cancelled
_only with mouse click inside conent pane_. Try to click in the menu, toolbar,
tab and status bar area. The auto scroll icon is still there. This sometimes
causes funny result such that every tab window has its own auto scroll. Also, it
may look like imprint but actually auto scroll mode is still active. 

I hope someone in qa to check on this.
Scenario demonstrating a higher level of irritation:
1.Activate auto scroll mode
2.Back Button
3.Activate auto scroll mode
(no effect)
4.Try to activate auto scroll mode a second time
(works as it should have the attempt before)
