10.5: Scroll background windows via the mouse
Authored by: wblj on Nov 26, '07 09:52:28AM

This doesn't seem to work with Firefox (2.0.0.9); that is, if I have FF in the background and can see the whole window, nothing scrolls for me when I hover over any part of it's window :-(

That's because Firefox isn't a Mac application--it's a poorly-executed port of a piece of **** PC executable. So it should come as no surprise when it fails to behave how a real Mac application should.

Hardly. Firefox is more a creature of Linux than anything...

Same here. Maybe it's not something you get automatically but something Firefox needs a patch to take advantage of. It would be really handy.
