I noticed the same thing with Evolution, long ago, that I can't simply page up and down by clicking above or below the scroll bar, any more. It jumps to what's essentially a random spot, since you have no way to actually pick a specific part of the message list that you want to see. You're pretty screwed if you don't have a mouse wheel and you want to page through things.
It's due to a change in GTK+3. Maybe Firefox has inherited this. I preferred the old behaviour.
To get the old behaviour back edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and add this:
[Settings] gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = 0
I've just done a Centos-7 install on one of my netbooks, and then I installed the Mate desktop so I wouldn't have to fume and curse Gnome. Mate is much more friendly. but I noticed that some few programs even in Mate still use the silly "new" scrollbar behavior, and adding that entry (in fact, creating the file 'cause it wasn't there) doesn't help.
Would you have any other suggestions for dealing with that?
thanks a bunch!
