Updating from FF3.6 to FF6 made my middle click scroll focus silly

For example, on any web page, attempting to middle click inside a text field results in the text field itself being scrolled. I used to be able to have the middle click be a dedicated "scroll the main content" option with the mouse wheel being for individual items on the page.

How do I get this behaviour back?

Action performed: Middle click on a page element followed by moving the mouse in any direction

Desired effect: The main page content scrolls in the direction of the mouse

Actual effect: The clicked element scrolls in the direction on the mouse
