FF v14.0.1, Thinkpad mouse button scroll sometimes fails to work

New with the upgrade to 14.0.1, trackpoint + mouse button scrolling on a Thinkpad doesn't operate properly (the only change is the version update). What's particularly odd is I now have 7 windows open (all with a few tabs), and mouse scrolling fails in only ONE of these windows, and there for all of its tabs.

Given the selective nature of the problem this seems not to be a setting or configuration issue, nor one related to drivers, nor to plugins etc.

This has happened several times, the only "fix" I've found is to restart Firefox.

Any help?

On the next-but-one FF restart, Thinkpad middle mouse-button scrolling worked as expected in all windows but the first one (bottomof the displayed list on the XP taskbar) after FF came back to life. After two days this glitch migrated to the -second- window as well, at which point I restarted FF once more.

For the moment, anyway, Lenovo Trackpoint + middle mouse button scrolling operates normally in all windows. But for how long, I wonder.

I'd love to hear any suggestion that such behavior could be anything except a bug in 14.0.1 (last upgrade was from v6 to v14.0.1, so I'm not certain when this .. thing .. would have first occurred by version). Even better would be confirmation that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.

Thanks.

More details on this issue: it appears to be related to memory utilization within a single window. It seems that when "too many" tabs are open within a given window the more likely it is that mouse-button scrolling will fail. It is the case as well that once the failure occurs in a window it remains, regardless of how many tabs are closed within that window.

I had thought memory was managed more globally w'/in Firefox, but for now my guess is there is also more localized memory for each window.

Apparently no one else is experiencing this problem, though?
