User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040426 Firefox/0.8.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040426 Firefox/0.8.0+ In previous builds holding shift and scrolling with the mouse wheel resulted in horizontal scrolling. This is default behavior in Mac OSX and the only OS native way in which the user can scroll horizontally without actually interacting with the GUI. Now, holding down shift and scrolling with the mouse wheel causes the browser to move back and forward through the history. I personally think it would be best to stick with what people know (at least on an OS by OS basis). People like CTRL/CMD+S to save their document and don't want that mucked with, and there are many users that would feel the same way about their horizontal scrolling. I'm not sure if this is native behavior in Windows or Linux, but in Macintosh it isn't. I'm sure people will manage if nothing is changed there, but an alternative at least should be offered. In the build of Firefox mentioned above I'm not able to scroll horizontally using any keyboard shortcut that I have found, and using the arrow keys or the GUI is a little tedious for regular browsing. This also changes the way in which the new Microsoft mice work: their horizontal scrolling causes the pages to move back and forward (I assume because they are mapped to Shift+Scroll at least in Macintosh). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hold shift and scroll. Actual Results: Mozilla moves backward and forward through history. Expected Results: Horizontal scrolling.

Bug 277567 deals with a similar issue; hardware (configured track pad, horizontal tilt wheel on a mouse) that once scrolled horizontally now navigates Back and Forward.
