User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 If one opens many Tabs so the tab buttons don't longer fit in the tab bar one could scroll through those tabs with the mouse wheel in FF2 (without switching the tab). Now in FF3 this seems not quite working well. The mouse-wheel scrolls trough the tabs only partialy, then the only way to see the other tabs is using the arrow button. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open many tabs (ctrl-t, tabs can be empty) 2. Try to scroll through tabs using mouse-wheel Actual Results: Does not scroll through all tabs (1th to last). Expected Results: Turning the wheel up should finally get me to the first tab. Turning down to the last tab. I disabled smooth tab scroll. I did not try with that enabled because it is very slow then.
I am not seeing this on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1. WORKSFORME. Changing to Minor as it is a "minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present". You can click the arrows to scroll through the tabs.

I have toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll=false. I did not try it with true (default). Maybe that has something to do with it.
Yes, set that to True, and see if that fixes it. It should.
Yes, if set to true then it works. But it should also work if set to false.
When I set it to Flase (it was on Tue by default), the scroll stopped on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1. Is this normal behavior FF devs? If so, then this is INVALID
Loreno, do you still see this if you use newest version?

Yes, in "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8" the bug is still present.
