Scroll broken in Firefox on Mac.

Why does the Southern US seem to contain the highest concentration of North-South runways in the world?

It has to do with prevailing winds. Thanks to the Gulf of Mexico, winds in the eastern half of Texas and the surrounding states pretty consistently blow south to north.

Couldn't get arrow keys (or scroll) working on FF on Windows. If you select text and drag to select, the screen scrolls.
