My mouse's horizontal scroll buttons now skip over a tab

I used to use the horizontal scrolling on my mouse wheel to scroll through the tabs in Firefox 3.6, but ever since the update to 3.6.8, instead of one horizontal click scrolling to the next tab over, it skips that tab and scrolls to the tab after it. It's not a huge deal, but it definitely interrupts workflow habits.

I just checked and I already have version 24, and I still have the same problem. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that works.

Wireless Mighty Mouse - No Horizontal Scroll

PB G4 10.4.6
Brand new Wireless Mighty Mouse.
Vertical Scroll - ok
Zoom -ok
Will not scroll Horizontally - and have no idea of what 360 is

Brand new Wireless Mighty Mouse.
Vertical Scroll - ok

what 360 is
To achieve horizontal scrolling you have to select the 360 Degree option. With this option, the mighty mouse driver activates the x-axis sensor inside the mouse. With both x- and y-axis sensors working, the scroll ball operates like your typical analog ball mouse of yore--only it's upside-down. Personally, I think the System Preference option should read "2π Radians."

Mighty mouse enable horizontal scrolling

I've a mighty mouse and OS X 10.6.8 and I can't scroll horizontal. I've tried to change the mouse no difference. I've tried to switch between horizontal and 360° scrolling, disable scrolling...but I can't. That's really boring.
Anybody who can help me please?

I think it is an plugin or else...that destroyed the horizontal scrolling. I had a harddiskcrash and I recoverd via timemachine from last december, (10.6.8) was installed. and it worked again. after then i installed some updates and it's not working again....

FireTableRowsInserted looses mouse focus on scroll button

Hello,
I created a simple caching TableModel which reads data from database table. Data is cached internally in a vector which holds initially 100 rows. When scrolling down and reaching the 100th row I fetch the next 100 rows from the database table and add them to the vector.
So far, so good. But after reading from the database table I need to call fireTableRowsInserted which causes the scrolling (pressing the scroll-down-button all the time) to stop. So I need to press again on the scroll-down-button to restart scrolling down.
Is there a remedy to make scrolling more "fluid"?
This does not happen when scrolling down with cursor keys (scrolling one row a time) or clicking in the scrollbar track area, and it would be nice if it would behave the same when clicking on the scroll-down-button.
Thank you very much for any good advice.

Hi Stephan,
I suggest you try the following code sample, which seems to work although some better code could perhaps be found:
public class Frame extends JFrame {
    private JTable table;
    private JScrollPane scrollPane;
    private boolean scrolling = false;
    private Object scrollingLock = new Object();
    ... // other attributes
    public Frame() {
        ... // init the frame
        table = new JTable();
        ... // init the table
        scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
        scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
        ... // init the scroll pane
        scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().addAdjustmentListener(new AdjustmentListener() {
            public void adjustmentValueChanged(final AdjustmentEvent e) {
                synchronized(scrollingLock) {
                    if (!scrollingLock) {
                        scrollingLock = true;
                        scrollPane.setViewportView(null);
                        // fetch the next rows and add them to the table
                        scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
                        scrollingLock = false;
    ... // other methods
}I hope this will help you!

When I open enough tabs to get the left/right scroll buttons to appear, my entire tabs bar flickers

I finally just upgraded from FF28 this week and am having a very weird problem with the tabs bar. I am attaching a 2-second video because a still screenshot does not capture the issue. Not only is the flashing/flickering uncomfortable visually, but it makes it nearly impossible to click the x to close a tab (I have to right-click and select Close Tab instead).
edit: can't attach a video; uploaded it here:
http://www.nothingleftrecords.org/ffvid.3g2

I'm sorry for this issue. hopefully it is fixed with an upcoming update. I looked at your crash report and one issue that could be causing this is out of date drivers.
" Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 10.6 or newer." This error was given many times. Also, as XP gets older, without being supported, it gets harder to make programs (i.e. Firefox) as good as possible while working on older systems.

My mouse will only scroll one way

My mouse will only scroll down and not up, it has done this before and self cured after a few days. any suggestions?

I assume you are referring to a mouse with the scroll button/wheel in the middle?
I have seen this a few times with more than one such mouse. I have "cured" it by putting some pressure (e.g. considerably more than normal) downward on that scroll wheel and moving it in the direction that it is no longer moving in (e.g. scrolls only down but not up, or vice versa). By applying a fair amount of pressure (don't break it but it's much more pressure than normal for a short time), it seems to suddenly "catch" and then works fine.

Mighty Mouse will not scroll horizontally uder 10.3.9 why???

Hi all
I was trying out my Mighty Mouse under 10.3.9 and it's not scrolling horizontally and on Apple support sight it said that it should scroll horizontally and vertically but it just doesn't scroll horizontally why is this? I have tried it on 10.4.10 and no problem here so I know that the scroll ball works and not broken. Is it a software/hardware "glitch" under 10.3.9 or a typo in part of Apple and if not how can I make it scroll horizontally under 10.3.9????
Thanks!!!!!
PS: Here's what Apple says in they're "Support" section:
+*If you use Mighty Mouse on a computer with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, the mouse offers the following functionality:*+
+*Primary and secondary button functions are assigned to left and right buttons respectively*+
+*Vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled (scrolling can't be disabled)*+
+*Can activate Exposé from the Exposé pane in System Preferences*+

I believe the booklet that came with the mouse explains what features work with each version of Mac OS X (I can't remember the page - I don't have the booklet to hand at the moment); I would expect the scroll ball to work with 10.3.9...

Resetting bluetooth may fix your mighty mouse scroll button

I have had this problem with the scroll button on my mighty mouse for months and months, and the only advise I have managed to get from here when I complained was to clean it. But I tried that many times and I have had nothing but problems with it, so much so that I recently called Apple and they agreed straight away to send me a new one.
What made me call them today was the clicking action and side buttons on my mighty mouse also failed completely, and I thought the thing was totally broke. Whilst I was on the phone I happened to mention that my wireless keyboard also keeps losing its connection, and the advisor told me to do this following...
This advise was used on my MacBook 13.3inch model from last year.
Turn off Mac, removed the power and battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds. Then turn it back on, but while you turn it back on hold down the altcmnd+RP buttons together. You will hear it ching two times as it turns on, let go after the second ching.
This apparently resets the bluetooth and it fixed my mouse, it now works perfectly.
Anyway, I called apple back to say that this reset not only fixed my keyboard, but also my mouse. Everything now works perfectly. The problem was bluetooth all along and not that the button needed cleaning.
But they said they would still send me out a new one, and so long as they received a mouse back in the post they wouldn't charge me. I accepted that offer and I'll see how it goes with the one I have. I feel that I may have damaged the scroll button trying to clean it and feel that I probably should get a new one anyway on account of that.

Hello stu:
What you apparently did (based on the feedback you got from from Apple) is reset the SMC (system management controller) and the PRAM. When one has odd problems that do not appear software related, those are sometimes suggested as troubleshooting steps.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting the SMC should not, however, be used until other avenues have been exhausted (based on Apple guidance)

Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before

help! Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before ><
In the past I was just able to go into the mouse control settings in control panel and reduce wheel scrolling to 1 page at a time. Now i'm not able to scroll one album at a time anymore, even though my mouse control panel is still set to scroll at one page at a time. Its skipping two albums ahead now and I can't pin point to the album I want now unless if I click on it. I haven't used ituens in awhile so it must be something new on the last 2 updates, I don't see anything in the perference menu.
thx

I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

Use of scroll button on mouse?

Child just got a macbook air for school's laptop program. Get ready for an endless stream of stupid questions as I try to work with Apple software and hardware. First one: I want to get her a mouse. I see in the Apple store, Apple mice with only two buttons, and a Logitech (now that is a familar name) mouse with two buttons and a middle scroll wheel.
I'd rather not give her a mouse with a scroll bar right in the middle, that is useless. It would only serve as a distraction, whether or not the drivers can get the mouse itself to work.
Is there any use/function in OSX for a middle scroll wheel?
FWIW, this is for OSX 10.9.1.

No questions are stupid.   People ask because they don't know the answer; I'm glad you have enough confidence in Apple's forums to ask here.
The Apple Magic mouse performs all the functions that will be required.   As for any other supplier; Logitech is well regarded here.
Why a centrally situated scroll wheel could be a distraction, I don't know.   Whether the scrolling is performed by a wheel or a finger gesture is quite irrelevant.   It is a necessary function.
As you know, you need to connect it via Bluetooth.

Disabling Horizontal Scroll in Mountain Lion (Magic Mouse)?

So I've tried pretty much everything and can't seem to this.
The following things used to work under Lion and before, it seems but having tried all of them, I'm at a loss for what to do. I like the magic mouse, but
when doing any development like coding or doing something in illustrator or Photoshop. The horizontal scroll makes my content jump all over the place.
Very frustrated hope someone can help. Here are all the things I've tried.
Open a terminal shell:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
This no longer does anything.
I tried installing MagicPrefs to try and 'overwrite' the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... it doesn't work
I tried installing BetterTouchTool (BTT) to also overwrite the scroll functionality for horizontal movement... again it doesn't work.
What does work:
It seems I can go into System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad > Mouse Options > uncheck scrolling.
But this gets rid of all scrolling even vertical.
Now if MagicPrefs or BTT had a vertical scroll action you could bind to up/down swipes this would be fine, but they don't.
So, at a loss for what to do.

If you have windows 7 this might work for you. Found from another forum post here.

Re: how to disable horizontal scrolling with magic mouse in win7?
Mar 19, 2013 8:30 AM (in response to lexa_xxx)
I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

My mouse scroll button only moves up (not down)

My scroll button on my Apple mouse (brand new iMac) was working beautifully. All of a sudden, it will not scroll down -- only up.
Can someone give me an idea as to what might be wrong? (I checked my mouse preferences and the setting is correct, "vertical and horizontal").
Thanks in advance.

OK
I have the same problem with my wireless mouse which isn't dirty, because when using it with a CAD program which uses the scroll ball as zoom in/out it works fine.
Maybe it stopped working with the latest upgrade?.
