    On my W3V I can scroll windows and webpages from IE just fine using the right side of the touchpad, But on Firefox I cant scroll, I get this little image of a cursor trying to scroll in place of where my cursor is supose to be. Anyone have this problem of not being able to scroll in Firefox, If so, how did you fix it?

    Downloading the driver from Synaptics should do it.

    Actually, on my Z63A, I only had this issue after installing the synaptics drivers.

    Try uninstalling them and then seeing if scrolling works in FF again...it did for me.

    Yes, uninstall the synaptics driver. The stock windows driver will allow you to scroll. Lame that the Synaptics won't work...

    The newest synaptics drivers also do the trick.
    The driver is version 8.1.2

    I uninstalled the drivers but I just got the same functionality, no scrolling in firefox. Maybe because I have a W3V, anyways, I went and got the newest drivers and that did the trick. Thanks
