Hi! I'm also a Firefox loyalist and have been searching desperately for this functionality. I've seen all sorts of options that *sort of* indicate that it *might* be available but nothing works.

Some webpages I've viewed:
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Mouse_Wheel_Scrolling#Preferences_for_customizing_delta_values_and_default_action
- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2072387
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Mouse_Wheel_Scrolling
- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&p=12546047

These pages are related to this feature request but none of them provide an actual solution.

User @Skewer's original comment near the top of this issue says:

The shift+wheel action (Pan / scroll horizontally) is *exactly* what I'm looking for.

Please help!
