The reason that's been given is that it's unintuitive and causes users confusion and frustration - for example: accidentally pasting into a document by pressing too hard when scrolling (something, incidentally, that does happen to me from time to time - the wheel's quite sensitive on this mouse)
That's even worse for users switching from Win/Mac (although I'm not sure I agree the aim should be to optimise on that alone).
@nick @jwildeboer One other thing: whatever Gnome chose to do, I do think Firefox should drop support for it.
It's a bit insane that it was implemented at application level at all - it should really be something that's enabled (or not) in the Desktop Environment rather than being selectively supported by specific applications (though that's also true of a bunch of other things, so 🤷 )
