It works OK in Windows 2000.

Your example scrolls just fine for me.

I tested with Firefox 1.0.7 on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and OS X 10.4.2, using both
Java 1.3.1 (for which Firefox 1.0.7 has built-in support) and Java 1.4.2 (for
which you need to install the Java Embedding Plugin from
http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/).

I scrolled (vertically) with both the browser's scroll bar and and a scroll
wheel (on my Microsoft mouse) -- both worked equally well.

By the way, you should upgrade to Firefox 1.0.7 as soon as possible -- it
contains important security fixes -- see http://www.mozilla.org/security/.

If you haven't done so already, that is.

There are some java/applet issues, but I never came across anythin like described above. Updateing software always seems a good first step to such issues.
