Unfortunaly, I keep failing emailing this guy.
I've asked Sboulema if they would be willing to keep a copy of the file at http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/.
It looks like a lot of people are having problems with the latest Synaptics touchpad drivers. Unfortunately, it becomes more & more difficult to find old (working) versions of the driver on the web.
I hope somebody out there is willing to give us a hand here. I can't possibly be expected to be emailing people 6.5 MB emails till Synaptics fixes their driver...

Not ready to give up just yet!
Try to do a google search with "Synaptics", "touchapd", "7.10". I think 7.10.xxx.yyy is the latest series that works with Mozilla/Firefox.
I found this page:
http://www.qditech.com.au/downloads.php
That lists this driver:
http://www.qditech.com.au/files/8050d/touchpad.zip
(I haven't tried it though! Careful when testing it!)
Good luck!

Sboulema has put a copy of the driver at Extensions Mirror:

Dunno, never tried horizontal scrolling...

This is not really the latest driver (assuming you are talking about 7.10.14), but the latest *working* driver as far as Mozilla goes.

Works just fine in Linux. Of course my laptop is a couple of years old Dell.

UH how does one scroll using the Touchpad? Mine is a Dell Latitude 600 has 4 buttons and the pad. I pretty much always use a mouse.
So how do you scroll with the pad?
