Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install powermate driver utility 2.connect powermate 3.start firefox 4.open powermate driver utility 5.clcik add setting and select firefox.exe, click ok 6.set 'rotate right' to 'scroll down' from the dropdown menu 7.set 'rotate left' to 'scroll up' from the dropdown menu 8.click apply now 9.go to a website that requires verticle scrolling in fire fox 10.rotate powermate's knob 11.observe lack of scrolling Actual Results: nothing happened. as noted above when the powermate is used to send a right click, firefox responds correctly Expected Results: firefox should have responded as if the powermate was the normal scroll wheel on a mouse. bug could also be classified as an enhancement. about:buildconfig Build platform target i586-pc-msvc Build tools Compiler Version Compiler flags $(CYGWIN_WRAPPER) cl 12.00.8804 -TC -nologo -W3 -nologo -Gy -Fd$(PDBFILE) $(CYGWIN_WRAPPER) cl 12.00.8804 -TP -nologo -W3 -nologo -Gy -Fd$(PDBFILE) Configure arguments --disable-ldap --disable-mailnews --enable-extensions=cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,pref,transformiix,universalchardet,webservices,inspector,gnomevfs,negotiateauth --enable-crypto --disable-composer --enable-single-profile --disable-profilesharing --enable-optimize --disable-debug --disable-tests --enable-static --disable-shared --enable-official-branding
