Originally noticed in my own site code but as demonstrated perfectly by the bug text example url I provided, FF does not appear to fire multiple scroll events like it does on Windows or like other browsers do. Instead, as you scroll, only a starting and an ending event are fired - unless you scroll extremely slowly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the supplied url
2. Scroll - by any means you wish
Actual Results:  
The values in the hud only update when you stop scrolling

Expected Results:  
The values in the hud should update constantly until you stop scrolling

FF 2.0.0.2 on Windows XP SP2 behaves correctly.
