when clicking on a web page with your middle mouse button and moving your mouse
up and down, mozilla does not scroll through the page (as IE does).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a web page
2.middle click and move your mouse up and down
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
scrolled up/down when moving the mouse up/down (and holding the middle mouse
button clicked)

i know that by clicking the middle mouse button it is possible to open another tab

but when not clicking a link it should be possible to scroll through the page
like that :-).
