Linux: mousewheel scrolling.
I'm using Linux Mint 13 Maya, Firefox 21.0. Throughout the system mousewheel works fine. In Firefox I can close a tab by clicking mousewheel on it, as well as open a link in a new tab with mousewheel. However, I can't scroll the page by clicking on a page with mousewheel and then dragging the mouse up and down.
Is this function implemented in 21.0? I really miss it for scrolling long pages. Is there anything I can do to enable it or do I have to submit a feature request?

hello, in principle this feature should be implemented in firefox. enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named general.autoScroll and make sure that its value is set to true.

Thanks a lot, it works now!

Note that you can also find this setting in the user interface.
