    I have a question for you guys...it seems that the vertical scrolling feature does not work on my touchpad on either of my cf 29's. I did check the mouse properties and it is set to work, and then for the heck of it I did try it on IE and, lo and behold, it seemed to work. Is this a Firefox issue or am I just a rookie and doing something wrong? Thanks for the help!

    It's an issue with the Panasonic drivers.

    Vertical scrolling requires application support, and the Panasonic drivers don't support Firefox.

    My CF-30 has the same problem.

    My 51 beckons to disagree.

    Mark, with the exception of my 51* which scrolls in FF, the other TBs in my household refuses (even when I tried to swap drivers) but all will scroll in excel, word, etc.

    * CF-51RCLDFBM BIOS V3.5 (mk3LL)

    The CF-51 has a totally different touchpad and driver to the CF-29/30.

    Lack of vertical scrolling in Firefox is due to a defect in the Panasonic touchpad drivers.
