Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20130107124423

Steps to reproduce:

To replace the mousewheel "scroll by pages" feature that has been removed, the recommendation is to use a high delta to force scrolling to be at least one page.


Actual results:

On web pages, each scroll event is limited to a single page to avoid skipped lines.
On most dialogs, for example the cookie list, scrolling is not limited to one page and skips immediately to the end of the list.


Expected results:

Some feature needs to be available to scroll by pages, and not just on web sites, as was available prior to Firefox 17.  The "high delta" workaround would be acceptable if it worked more consistently.
