Firefox issue - Not able to scroll down and up thru mouse wheel navigation icon

2
I have a simple HTML page where I have a form with in a <div style="height: 600px; width: 100%; overflow: auto;">. The mentioned div styles are mandatory to get the expected behavior of the div.

Now, in Firefox, the page appears properly as expected. I can scroll down and up the div part by dragging the scroll bar by mouse and I can scroll down and up the div part by rolling up and down the mouse wheel as well.

But I am facing the problem if I single-click the mouse wheel, the four headed mouse navigation icon appears and not able to scroll the page up and down by simply moving the icon!

In other browser I am getting up and down two headed mouse wheel navigation icon and it allows me to scroll the page up and down by simply moving the icon as expected.

Please help.

it appears firefox only uses the scroll wheel click to navigate the parent window and not other scrollable widgets like IE does. But you can use the scroll wheel for vertical scrolling of widgets (like your div). There is no html/css fix for this behavior I am aware of. Maybe look around on the Mozilla site for information about this "problem":
