I'm OK with changing our behavior to match Gecko since that's a strict improvement in my view and it's arguable whether we should or shouldn't move focus when you click in the scrollbar of a mouse-focusable element. To be clear, the only change from our current behavior would be that when you click on a scrollbar of an element that is not mouse-focusable, we wouldn't move focus. This seems clearly superior to our current behavior and matches what we do for viewport scrollbars. Whether we should extend this to scrollbars of mouse-focusable elements can be a separate discussion.
