User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0 Build ID: 20121119145849 Steps to reproduce: Updated Firefox from 16 to 17 Actual results: Existing settings for horizontal mousewheel action (history browse) no longer work. There is apparently no way to set up horizontal mousewheel actions to separate from vertical mousewheel actions, as per https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Mouse_Wheel_Scrolling#Mozilla_17_.28Firefox_17.29_or_later: "You cannot specify different action to vertical wheel operation and horizontal wheel operation because both deltaX and deltaY values can be non-zero same time. So, specifying different action doesn't make sense. " Expected results: This needs to be user configurable For me, most natural way of navigating is using vertial scroll to scroll within a page, and horizontal scroll (mousewheel tilt) to browse pages
