Firefox on Fedora 22 in VirtualBox 5.0 running on Win7 does not properly scroll wheel. What configuration must be modified/checked?

Recently updated Fedora from 21 to 22 using the utility fedup.

It worked perfectly fine in Fedora 21.

Scrolling with the wheel mouse works perfectly in the terminal and other browsers and LibreOffice. This isn't a question of operating system Linux.

When you use the wheel to scroll, the page will bounce up and down and never really scroll the target - it will scroll 3 lines, then bounce back to the original position, or in the wrong direction. In this case while scrolling upwards or downwards.

Hi ShadowAce,
I don't have this environment to test this, but I can infer that you might be able to disable scrolling acceleration: Firefox menu > Advanced uner navigation or about: preferences in a new url #advanced.
Uncheck the box for accelerated scrolling.

I also found others who have noticed this problem:

This additional information is useful for finding a work around? If it's a bug of Firefox is maybe what version of linux use for scrolling. Mozilla only keeps the part of linux, but it might not hurt to fill out a bug report in bugzilla.mozilla.org.

  • Help! I've updated Firefox to version 20.0 on my Imac, and now UX does not work. What's wrong? What can I do about it?

    With the new version 20.0 UX does not work, how can I me personas to work?

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in (permanent) private browsing mode.

    • Firefox > Preferences > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
    • Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.

    If you switch to private browsing and then a special built-in character is applied to disable the theme so it is impossible to use other characters.

  • Hotmail does not properly in Firefox

    Hey people,

    This morning I can't open any messages or folders in Hotmail. It was working fine last night. Everything looks like normal (although I noticed that ads on the side load is no longer?) and messages appear in my Inbox as usual. However, if I click on messages in the Inbox or you try to select another folder on the left, there is no error messages or pop-up windows, everything that happens is literally nothing. The message looks like it is selected in the Inbox link when I click on it, but it never loads... the same browser never shows that load the folder or message. Browser is Firefox 12. It works fine in Internet Explorer (which I hate).

    I tried on three different computers, two running Windows XP Professional with SP3, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with SP1, all three 12 of Firefox running. Hotmail works very well with them in IE, but not Firefox. Tested also 12 of Firefox on a machine of Puppy Linux 5.28 with Hotmail and who has worked surprisingly well.

    I tried to clear the cache and cookies completely and Hotmail still not working properly... I think remember me something like this is happening before, but I don't remember how I got it... all other fixed sites on work computers perfectly, only Hotmail is acting weird and has been doing for 4 hours about now.

    .. .anybody have thoughts?

    EDIT - I should also mention that I does no update, no plugins installed addon or whatever it is in no way changed since it has been changed to work properly on all computers.

    EDIT #2 - I tried to start Firefox in Mode safe mode with all disabled... same question, Hotmail does not work.

  • With Firefox 9.0.1 an application using a JavaScript confirm command does not display the message. Blocker is disabled for the domain of the application.

    Application is written in php and javascript. Clicking a button triggers a javascript confirm dialogue. Since upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1 confirmation dialog box does not appear. Trainer first set to allow the full domain of the application, then off altogether. JavaScript is enabled.

    It turns out that Firefox has become a little more picky about the standards that IE. (Imagine that!) Code created the entries of type = 'text' hidden, then calls a javascript function and the values passed in the entries hidden as parameters. The original code just pass the name of the entry as a variable. Then, the Firefox console complained that the variable was not declared. Once I spent the variable.value, then the error disappeared, Firefox has been happy, does not break IE, so I'm happy.

  • Firefox 8 does not properly complete OS x 10.7.2: must use force to quit smoking

    Since the update to Firefox 8 (Firefox 7 on 10.7.2 worked without problems) I can is more closed Firefox properly.

    Firefox must be closed using the option to force out.

    I also noticed read/write access increased from hard drive since the upgrade to Firefox 8 and switch between tabs is significantly slower.

    Whenever I had problems with FF after an update, it's usually an add-on that does not play well.

    My most recent problem was Firefox does not not at launch.

    I created a new profile and it worked immediately.

  • Widespread problem "Firefox is already running" suggests it does not close properly - is Mozilla solve this?

    Several people including me have reported a problem when closing Firefox and then try to re - open. The message "FF is already running and should be closed... ' appears, but the taskbar does not display an active FF. At this point, it is necessary to use the Task Manager to close the old term.
    1 this not always the case on my computer has started recently.
    2. most of the time that it is indeed possible to open multiple versions of FF without difficulty. This problem only seems to happen if I close the first session and then immediately try to open a new.
    So my question is what causes this, not what workaround to usable solution when it occurs.

    1 both of these problems (ending to Firefox and restart) are a response

    http://dmcritchie.MVPs.org/Firefox/Firefox-problems.htm#close_firefox

    2. multiple versions of Firefox you have to use -no-remote on your combination of browser/profile not by default. Which cannot be by chance, so either you messed up in start parameters, or you didn't never have multiple versions of firefox running at the same time.

  • When I click on my desktop shortcut icons in the new firefox 4 I get a dialog box that indicates that windows does not find that the website

    I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads. I tried to load the original site, delete the old shortcut and drag the new shortcut to my desktop, but Firefox always gives me the same message.

    IAM running FF4, my Bank does not support it. They say to use another browser. AMI don't know how to do this. I thought that you can use only one? What should I do to access sites that do not support Firefox 4

    You can still install multiple browsers on your PC. Personally, I think it's essential in case one of the browsers does not work, you will have another one to use as a stand-by. You can download IE or Chrome. If you decide to use IE along with Firefox, you can use the IE View add-on that will allow you to open the Web site in Internet Explorer, without closing Firefox:

  • I installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM and the product key does not work, how to fix this? I use the same product key supplied with the computer originally.

    I bought a Dell Precision T3400 of Dell Financial Services and it came with Vista Business installed.  I installed a new hard drive and installed Vista in a Virtualbox VM by using the recovery disk that came with the computer, and the product key does not work for activation.  I get a message that says I need to activate Windows, but he says that the product key is not valid.  How can I fix it?

    Thank you

    If you have reinstalled the OEM of Vista Business copy on the new hard drive, as Bill says you can't also use it in a virtual machine.

    You can only reuse your OEM of Vista professional copy if it is no longer used on the computer. Do you have what operating system installed on the new hard drive? It was an upgrade copy or complete the license?

    If you used a license to upgrade to another edition of Windows to replace your copy of company then Vista Business license is still in use (for upgrade) and you cannot reuse it in your virtual machine.

    However if you replaced Vista business with a copy of the full license of another edition then you are able to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine, but only on the same computer. You must use the product key from COA to the label on the computer. The product key is put in the copy OEM cannot find the SLIC table on the host motherboard. You must use the phone activation from within the virtual machine. Click on start in Vista Business and typing "slui 4. Do not meet the audio guests until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent. Explain that you have completely replaced the OEM copy with a copy of the full license of the new windows and now want to use the OEM copy in a virtual machine on the same computer. Agent will then give you the activation string. Remember that the virtual machine is not transferable to any other computer.

  • Firefox 'begins' and ends without showing anything. Profile of Bishop does not either. Tried everything.

    I have used Firefox for a long time on many windows computers. On one of them it starts properly for a few days. He first seems to start but nothing happens and after a few seconds the time 'time of glass' disappears. I can see the execution a few moments in the activity Manager, but he disaaperas automatically. I have read and tried your advice of assistance, including how to start the Profile Manager to do some activities. But the same thing happens with the Profile Manager. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox several times, turned the computer between the two and others. But nothing seems to work.

    Yes, I have, but it had to be renewed after one year, of course. I went through the configuration of the protected workspace Dell and now Firefox works again.

    Thank you!

  • What configuration must be changed to allow connections secured in Firefox 40.0.2?

    The Version of Firefox: labeled 40.0.2 to date;
    OS: Windows 7/64 bit (Home Premium);
    Banking site fails to connect to a site secured with a "Secure connection required" message
    Another site that uses simple htaccess to request password fails with the message "authorization required";
    Two of these sites open properly with Google Chrome;

    I lived the configuration options, and nothing seems to make any difference. Are there
    something that has changed in this new version that must be configured for that it works? I had
    no problems with this last week, likely before and automatic 'upgrade '.
    Thank you

  • I think Firefox is getting worse, because there are many Web sites that does not work properly with it, while my other browser Google Chrome can.

    There are many sites, but I will say only 1 site because I have very bad memory, so here's the problem, Web site Furaffinity.net, search for his website may not work properly with Firefox, its advanced research, help and toggle the button description can be click but nothing happened after a click. However, my other browsers, Google Chrome and INTERNET EXPLORER horrible can work properly. I tried to fix it by resetting Firefox but it doesn't work.

    Thank you, and I take back what I said about Firefox getting worse.
