Sorry, I was unclear. I was talking about touchpads on Windows. 
I have no idea about MacOS

I see, on linux Chrome has odd behavior where it seems to allow vertical 
scrolling when diagonal scrolling is done. That behavior is really weird when 
one uses it. Makes scrolling feel like all broken since viewport is scrolled 
somewhat randomly. It is hard to control whether to do only up-down or 
left-right scrolling on a touchpad or a bit both.

But this is enabled on touchpads too, if the pref is set. Could we somehow 
enable it on mouse input only, and not touchpad?

Title:
  [Shift + Mouse-Scroll-Wheel] Does NOT Scroll Horizontally

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In Chromium, I can scroll horizontally using my mouse-wheel by holding
  down the shift key while scrolling the mouse wheel.

  Firefox is missing this very convenient page-navigation short-cut.

  
  Use Case:

  As my eyes age, I find myself always scaling up the web pages I read
  (by holding down crtl and scrolling my mouse wheel).

  Doing this, often makes the page exceed the width of my monitor
  (hiding the right-side of the text I want to read) and produces a
  horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page.

  At this point, since I've already used ctrl-scroll-mouse-wheel to
  magnify the page, it would be wonderful if I could use shift-scroll-
  mouse-wheel to horizontally-scroll the magnified page and therefore
  center the (previously cropped) text that I am wanting to read.
