One of the annoyances to Firefox is it doesn't present nearly the configuration options of Mozilla. The good thing is the options are still there, just not available through the preferences interface. There is an extension (the name of which I can't remember at the moment) that fixes that problem. Luckily you can always manually configure it. Try typing 'about:config' in the address bar. This brings up a page with every possible configuration option and their current value. You can then filter down to the mousewheel options by typing 'mousewheel' in the filter bar. There are probably 3 options you're particularly interested in here: mousewheel.withaltkey.action, mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action, mousewheel.withshiftkey.action. Each one of course modifying what happens when you use that particular key while scrolling the mousewheel. You can double click on any of them and change the value. Setting to 1 makes the mousewheel scroll a page at a time. 2 is to go forward and back in your history (equiv. to the forward/back buttons). 3 causes the wheel to increase or decrease the font size (very handy on some sites that set it way too small...I bind that to ctrl).
