I just want to add my support for the idea that autoscrolling and
middlemouse.contentloadurl should be mutually exclusive. Middle clicking when
autoscrolling is enabled should always result in autoscrolling, instead of the
crap shoot behaviour Firefox currently has.

The first part of suggestion #5 of bug #258751 is a good idea for how to solve
this.... a radio button in the preferences menu to allow you to change the
behaviour of the middle mouse button. This will also help to make it clear
exactly what is and how to use the "autoscrolling" option. Since the
preferences menu does not say exactly what autoscrolling is, people may enable
it without realizing it will change the behaviour of the middle mouse button.

By the way, I've also filed a bug report related to this on Gentoo Bugzilla:
