How to Disable the AutoScroll Feature in Firefox

The round “Auto Scroll” icon is sometimes really annoying, especially when you try to middle click on a link and you miss it. The page starts moving and scrolling by itself. Well, if you don’t like it then there’s a way to disable it. You can do so by going to Options> Advanced> and then uncheck “Use autoscrolling” box as shown below.

    Optionally, you can type about:config into the browser address bar, filter by middlemouse and enable middle mouse as a paste key (just dbl click it). Works great!
