User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Scrolling on the tab bar. Actual results: Nothing. Expected results: Switching through the tabs. This is the default behavior under GNOME/Gtk and KDE/Qt. Not doing this makes Firefox feel very alien, not like a native Linux application. Up until now I used an extension to do this, but the extension API used for this was removed from Firefox without replacement. The recent speed improvements made Firefox interesting to me and I considered switching back from Chrome, but without this feature I won't. It should really be not more than some very few lines of code.
I set the OS to Linux, but I guess it should be X11. It will be the same for *BSD.
