    For all who have problem with the standard ALPS touchpad driver in firefox 4; here is a quick registry fix: 1) Open registry with regedit 2) Search for following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint 3) Set ScrMethod to 1 4) Reboot
    After that scrolling in FF4 should be possible.
    For me it works with a Acer Aspire

  • Cant get the laptop touchpad scroll feature to work in latest Firefox version

    Since installing version 4 of Firefox the touchpad scroll function has stopped working. All other programs continue to scroll correctly and the touchpad driver is uptodate (Lenovo UltraNav).

    Try this: <br />
    Type about:config into address bar, hit enter, Firefox would ask if you want to access the settings, say yes you know the risk.
    When the list of configurations come up, type '''trackpoint''' into the filter area, you will see a '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' setting, change that from -1 to 1. Now you should be able to scroll using trackpoint and middle mouse button on the trackpad again.

  • My laptop touchpad scroll is not working with firefox 4. It is wroking with other programs. When I attach a mouse then scroll works with mouse wheel. It is only not working with touchpad. It is/was working with firefox 3.6.x

    I am using windows xp service pack 3 with Lenovo T60p.

    I too have this problem, I have an Acer Aspire 7551G with an ALPS mutitouch touchpad. It works perfectly fine in every other program, and worked in Firefox 3.6. Scroll also works fine with a USB mouse. I tried downloading the 'latest' driver from the Acer support website, but when I tried to install it, it says that I am trying to install the same driver that I already have, so that fix isn't possible. I've only had the machine for 3 months, so I would imagine the drivers are pretty current.
    I can't believe that this is a driver problem anyway, as I say, it works perfectly well in every other program, so it must be something wrong with Firefox. I was looking forward to using Firefox 4, but this problem is too annoying to put up with. Oh well, back to Chrome... at least until there is a fix found or implemented.

  • Since adding Firefox 4 to my Windows Vista laptop, my scroll button no longer works in Firefox.

    Using a 2-year old Lenovo X61 thinkpad running Windows Vista, there is a scroll button between the left and right buttons. It still functions in Outlook, and it used to function in all iterations of Firefox 3. Since updating to Firefox 4 yesterday, no scrolling and I have to click on the slide on the right side of the screen. This is cramping my style tremendously. I am not having the same trouble on my Windows 7 desktop or laptop.

    Hm. I was not aware Firefox 4 disabled this. Then again, I'm still using 3.x.
    Well, you can re-enable it by typing '''about:config''' into the address bar. Click the button to confirm that you want to be here.
    Type ''autoScroll'' into the Filter box. Look at the general.autoScroll property that comes up. Does it say "false" under the Value column? If that's the case, double click it to set it back to "true."
    This will enable the scroll button.

  • Laptop touchpad scrolling does not work with Verion 6.0. Why?

    I have a Lenovo T400. since downloading the 6.0, I can not use the touchpad to scroll. It still works on the other application and also on MS explorer. The Arrows work on firefox and scroll using arrows, just not the touchpad. Thanks for any feedback.

    i figured it out!
    1) go to control panel
    2) click on mouse
    3) click on the UltraNav tab at the top
    4) for the TrackPoint, i have the Enable TrackPoint box checked and the "Use as pointing device with advanced features
    5) click on Settings
    6) click on settings again towards the bottom right
    7) for "Scrolling Type" click on Smooth.
    that should work!

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • The scroll feature has stopped working on my laptop touchpad in Mozilla Firefox but not Internet Explorer.

    The scroll feature was working well on my laptop touchpad but has ceased to work in Firefox. It continues to work well in Internet Explorer. Help!

    Its due to the adobe reader add on. I removed adobe reader and installed foxit reader. Now everything seems perfect. My laptop model is model is Acer Aspire 5820 TG and I use synaptics driver.
    Solution: (Courtesy - iuliand)
    If you have issues with touch-pad scrolling in FF4 do this:
    1) disable Adobe Acrobat add-on and test if it works, otherwise
    2) install the latest touch-pad driver.
    Hope this will help others.
    Edit:
    If the above does not work, temporarily disable all add-ons in order to check if there is another one that may cause this.
    Also, make sure you update to the latest touch-pad driver from the touch-pad manufacturer site (very easy to do if you have a Synaptics). Most of the time drivers from notebook manufacturer support site are NOT up to date.
    Keep in mind that you may need to do both things (disable acrobat AND install latest driver). Both are possible causes and may occur at the same time, as it was in my case.
    Edit 2:
    If you have an ALPS touch-pad and none of the above works, check dog425's post below in this topic. He pointed out a solution found in this thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791829#answer-163071

  • I can't use touchpad scrolling in webpage tabs when a PDF tab is open in Firefox 4

    When using Firefox 4, if I have a PDF open in a tab (using the Adobe Reader 9 plugin, whatever the latest update was), I can't use my touchpad scroll in other tabs until I close the PDF tab. I can scroll fine in the PDF tab. This is on a HP laptop, the touchpad is made by Synaptics. Did not notice this problem in Firefox 3.6.

    I have this problem and have found a bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626813
    If you have this problem, please comment on the bug with your OS version (Windows 7 64-bit, for example, or Windows XP, 32-bit) and who makes your touchpad (Device Manager -> Mice -> "Touchpad Maker" Touchpad).

  • Why doesn't FireFox support touchpad scrolling of pages. This is very annoying!!

    Glaring shortcoming in ease of use in not supporting ALPS touchpad scrolling on a laptop computer w/ Windows 7.

    Philipp,
    What you say works for me on Windows but not on mac. On windows, firefox plays h.264 encoded html5 videos using system's inbuilt decoders. But same does not seem to be true for mac?
    More details:
    - Tried this on mac 10.7.4 and 10.8.4, firefox version: 22
    - Both give a warning message in error console: "Content-type" of "video/mp4" is not supported.
    - Exactly same content type works on FF on Windows
    This is how I am using video element in my page:
    &lt;video src="/sample.mp4" class="vid" width="550" height="400" controls autoplay /&gt;
    Any info on this?

  • How do I install iTunes on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working

    How do I get iTunes to install on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working.

    Yes, you can use the staller CD that came with your iPod. It should have all the iPod Updater and iTunes software needed for your iPod and your new computer.
    Also, if you don't have the CD available or you want a different way, you can install iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple's website. See this link for installation:
    Download iTunes 6
    Also, you'll need the iPod Updater software (as I previously mentioned). You can download this from Apple's website on here as well:
    iPod Updater
    iPod Software
    I hope this info solves the issue,

    If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!

    But you can install any version of Windows or Linux legally on an Apple notebook.  That has to do with license agreements.   You can read all the license agreements for Apple's operating systems here:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/
    This tip explains how:

    It may be time to sell your Acer, and get an Apple instead.

  • I've burnt a slideshow of my photos onto a DVD disc but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays ok on my acer laptop. I burnt the same disc with slideshow from my old dell computer

    I've burnt a slideshow of my photos on my Apple Mac to a DVD+REW disc but it will not play on my DVD player or on a combined DVD/TV. However it will play on my wife's Acer laptop. I then erased the disc &amp; burned another slideshow from my ancient Dell computer onto the same disc &amp;it played just fine on everything. So it seems the problem ids somewhere in the Apple Mac process. Any ideas?

    Mac's used to be supplied with iDVD authoring software but Apple discontinued it in 2011.
    Thanks for that.  Will need to check iSkysoft out.  I am in the process of looking for a VisualHub replacement/backup.  Especially when it comes to ease of use.  Toast is ok.  Just looking for something along the lines of VH.
