Firefix should support the onmousewheel event like IE, Opera and Safari all do.  No, it isn't in the standards but sometimes it is preferable to declare event listeners declaratively rather than programatically, and not having onmousewheel declarative support means one can't do that consistently.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Declare an element like <div onmousewheel="alert('Hello mouse wheel.');" style="width:100%;height:100%;" />
2.Mousewheel on the div - you should see the alert
3.
Actual Results:  
No alert is shown.

Expected Results:  
Alert is shown.

According to:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/index.html
This is supported for IE 6,7, buggy in IE 8, Opera, Safari.
