How to disable double click to move through many tabs? Double click should mean move to next tab, twice

I just upgraded to new firefox and there seems to be a new "feature", which makes working with multiple (50-80+) tabs impossible. When I click the move to left tab / move to right tab button, instead of being moved twice, everything jumps at gigantic speed for 15 or 20 tabs (something like PG up, PG down button maybe).

This makes firefox unusable and Im considering downgrading. How to disable this "feature"?

I tried messing around with 

toolkit.scrollbox

but apparently the new mentality of the developers is "WE KNOW BETTER". How can I fix this?

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs.
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button.
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.

I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.
