Bug Description

I don't know if this is intended, but I hope no.
I'm using firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1ubuntu5. The problem I experience is that when I scroll the page with my scrollwheel (too fast?), I am randomly directed to the previous/next page. I thought it might be some extension. I uninstalled almost all of them, and even renamed the .mozilla folder to check, but the problem still persists...

For an example, visit a few pages in a tab, then Try wandering with the scrollwheel up and down quickly. You should see how the status bar changes to "loading page X" when you do that. This is very annoying at least for me, as I'm in love with the scrollwheel and rarely use scrollbars at all.
