Breaking news! Synaptics new driver works with Mozilla!
Hi all,
I think this is indeed breaking news! Synaptics has put out a new driver version (8.0.6) that seems to be compliant with Mozilla products again.
Here's the link to the "Download drivers" web page from Synaptics:
http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm
WFM for the following products (WinXP Home Ver 2002, SP2):
(1) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8 ) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
(2) Thunderbird, version 1.0.2 (20050317)
(3) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8 ) Gecko/20050511 (SeaMonkey)
Thought I should share the joy!

Thanks for the link, this was definitely a driver problem with 7.12.7 from HP's website.
The 8.1.2 driver from Synaptics works great.

I just bought a Comaq Presario laptop with 64 bit AMD Turion processor and XP home. It too has the Synaptics touchpad which I enabled scrolling on. The scrolling works in all apps except Firefox where when I scrub in the vertical scroll area, a small icon with up and down arrows and a cursor appears but the display does not scroll. I have tried all combinations of the touchpad setup and Firefox options; nothing appears to work.
I have Synaptics driver ver. 7.13.0.1

Hello again,
Please can someone help with this issue. I have tried going to the links above for the driver and either they dont work or the certain driver to use is not there. I also tried going into the settings mentioned above and still have problem. I have no extension that are casuing the problem. From what it seems I need the driver but cant find it anywhere.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS...PLEASE

Which OS? Every Microsoft OS is listed on that page.
