When I try to use the scroll wheel (either up or down) in firefox 3, instead of scrolling up or down, the page goes to the very top. The mouse in question is the Logitech G5, and this issue happens with SetPoint versions 4.7 and 4.8

What happens if you disable/uninstall the SetPoint software? – tnorthcutt Sep 14 '09 at 2:58
The mouse reverts to standard functions, but I still can't use the mouse wheel in firefox – Cegorach Sep 14 '09 at 3:50
I am even more inclined to believe that, as phunehehe said, it is a problem with the drivers, as when I attempted to use VLC, the volume went up no matter which way the scroll wheel was turned. Any thoughts on a fix for this would be greatly appreciated. – Cegorach Sep 14 '09 at 6:52

I think that is a problem with the driver, maybe it's not so well supported yet. I didn't have that problem with windows 7 and firefox. Can you try with another mouse?

I have a feeling that is the problem, because when I originally installed 7, I had this problem, but it went away for a while after restarted... I just wish it had stayed away. – Cegorach Sep 14 '09 at 6:00

Try after disabling use autoscrolling and use smooth scrolling in firefox (Tools>Option>Advanced>General)

I already tried that, and all disabling autoscrolling did was remove my ability to use the middle-click scrolling. – Cegorach Sep 14 '09 at 5:58
