It appears that Firefox implements it's own version of autoscrolling on middle click on Windows 7. I say this because the icon does not look the same as in other Windows apps, and more importantly because of a specific behavior difference. In applications that use the generic Win7 autoscroll, moving the wheel up or down will cancel the autoscroll. Firefox doesn't do this; it moves a the page a little bit thanks to the scroll moving, but the autoscroll is still on. There does not appear to be a way to make Firefox just pass through the middle click to Windows, nor is there apparently a way to cancel on wheel movement. Is there any thing I can do to get this behavior? Thanks.

Although not common, I am apparently not the only one who cards about this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/802742?s=autoscroll&r=11&as=s I did not see that thread before I posted, although I am asking for something slightly deeper. I want an option to use the Windows default autoscroll / pan function rather than Firefox's override of it, which as a nice side benefit will give me the functionality of cancelling on scroll wheel movement.
