Ingve, does this happen immediately when you launch the browser, or, like bug 315042, only after you visit a specific site?

Have you visited any pages with Java, or about:plugins?  If so, bug 309344.

I have exactly the same experience with an HP Pavilion with XP.  No problem using te scroll bar in other programs or other browsers including Firefox before I loaded Beta.  I have tried every possible adjustment from the Synaptic contol program to noeffect.

This is the URL to get the update that fixed the scroll problem for me.  Thanks for the advise.

Allen, thanks, but this is a Mac bug.

Please mark CONFIRMED.

I have tested and verified this.  To clarify the original bug, scrolling the touchpad with TWO fingers on a current-line PowerBook is supposed to act in a scrollwheel-like fashion, and did in Firefox 1.0.x.  This broke in 1.5.

Here's a test that may help determine whether or not this bug is a
duplicate of bug 309344:

1) Run the Console utility (Applications : Utilities : Console).
2) Make sure the "console.log" window is visible (if it isn't, choose
   File : Open Console Log).
3) Make sure Firefox isn't running (quit it if necessary).
4) Click the "clear" button (a whisk broom) in the console.log window.
5) Start Firefox 1.5, then visit http://www.mozilla.org.
6) See if two-fingered scrolling works.

After you've done this, post a comment letting us know your results
(particularly of step 6), and paste the contents of the console.log
window into your comment.  (Or if there's too much stuff in the
console.log window, choose File : Save A Copy As in the console.log
window and attach the contents here (i.e. "Create a New Attachment").)

Resolving as INVALID for lack of requested feedback, after more than three months.  This may have been a duplicate of bug 309344.  We may never know.
