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

That's one of the things (only one!) I can't stand about Gnome-3.x, that behavior seems really stupid! given that behavior there's no way to "page down" or "up" thru a file using the scrollbar. if it's a loooong file, dragging the slider even a tiny bit moves you many "miles".
I'm glad to know there is a way to "fix" it, even though I avoid Gnome-3 whenever possible. Thanks!
