Scrollable container (overflow: auto) does not respond to mouse wheel events in Firefox

On certain web pages, there are scrollable containers (e.g., prompt cards in a prompt library) where the content overflows and should be scrollable with the mouse wheel when hovered. This works as expected in Chrome, Brave, and Edge browsers, but in Firefox, the mouse wheel does not scroll the content inside the container. This makes it impossible to access content that extends below the visible area.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Go to a page with a scrollable container (e.g., a prompt library with cards that have overflow content).
   Hover the mouse over the container.
   Try to scroll using the mouse wheel.

Expected Result: The content inside the container should scroll up or down.

Actual Result: Nothing happens; the content does not scroll.

Tested on:

   Firefox version: 141.0
   OS: Windows 10 and Also Linux Fadora

Works as expected on:

   Chrome
   Brave
   Edge
