    I just downloaded firefox today for my laptop, and I immediately realize that the scrollbar on the touchpad does not work in firefox (the newest version)

    is there any way i can fix it? or should i forget it and just go back to IE? because i'm very used to the scrollbar

    You should've searched the forum for this one.
    Get the latest drivers from synaptics

    Yeup this has been covered many times before.

    Some people have to add certain lines to their .ini file for firefox, while others just have to update their drivers.

    Try updating the drivers first and then if that doesn't work do a search for the lines needed for it to work.

    Cheers,
    Mike
