Firefox Versione italiana: Scrolling Orizzontale su Firefox per Eee PC
Since the Asus Eee PC’s screen resolution is so low, you may want to activate the horizontal scrolling on the Eee PC’s touchpad, to scroll those 800×480-unready websites. But there’s a (big) problem: if you’re going to use the horizontal scroll, Firefox will navigate thorough browser’s history, instead of scrolling the current page.

Activate the Eee PC’s touchpad horizontal scrolling

Activating the horizontal scrolling on the Eee PC is easy: in Easy Mode, just go to Settings > Touchpad > Scrolling, and check “horizontal scrolling“! ;)

Fixing Firefox’s strange scrolling behaviour

Open Firefox, and open its prefences page typing about:config in the address bar. Using the small search box, search for
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action
and set this variable to 0 (zero).
Now, search
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines
and set it to true. That’s all, now the horizontal scrolling should work fine in Firefox.

Note: this little how-to should work not only for the Eee PC, but for any Linux distribution! ;)
