    I know! I know! I just went through this lol.

    You may want to get the latest drivers, may not be needed. The key though, is to go to the mouse settings in Control Panel, click on the Hardware tab, click on Properties, then Advanced Settings and make sure Wheel is set to Look for wheel.

    Had this issue, the default synaptics drivers just didn't get along with firefox it seems. Updated and it worked.
