I think this will solve your problem : https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/tab-wheel-scroll/

Note that you can use the tab scroll buttons:

  • single click to scroll one tab
    hold down the mouse button to scroll more tabs or use the mouse scroll wheel on the tab bar
  • double-click to scroll a screen width
  • triple-click to scroll to the first tab or to the last tab

Try to move the mouse pointer off the scroll button before clicking the button another time to avoid detecting a double click.

See also this pref on the about:config page:

  • toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
