I used to be able to go back a page, by holding down left Shift and using scroll down. Since 58.1 this is not happening. Can I get it back?

you could enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named mousewheel.with_alt.action & mousewheel.with_shift.action. double-click it and change their values to: mousewheel.with_alt.action = 4 mousewheel.with_shift.action = 2

hi, i think the shortcut was changed to alt+scroll (shift+scroll now scrolls vertically) by default.

It seems that you are correct. I wonder if it can be changed back?
