Hmm, even if so, I still think that the new feature should be enabled in default settings (Alt + Wheel?). > > 3.

I think that we should decide it in this bug. Smaug, how do you think? I believe that if we'd swap deltaX/deltaY for default action, DOM wheel event and legacy mouse scroll events should represent it.

It depends on that we should give priority to compatibility with Chrome or our traditional behavior. We should ask somebody who works on UX of Firefox for default setting change. I don't know who is good person for it, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228250 Title: [Shift + Mouse-Scroll-Wheel] Does NOT Scroll Horizontally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1228250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
