Scrolling the web page by clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse does not work

I am using Moziall Firefox 64-bit with version 107.0 on Windows 10 21H2. I always like to scroll web pages with the mouse scroll wheel by clicking the mouse wheel and then moving the mouse up and down. I think you know this function. Normally a small circle with an up and down arrow appears, but not anymore. In other programs like Outlook, Word or Edge it still works.

For troubleshooting I have already deactivated all addons and started Firefox in safe mode. Unfortunately, everything has brought nothing.

Is this auto-scroll feature still enabled in Firefox if you check this in Settings ?

Thank you very much for your answer. Yes that was the feature. I do not know why this was turned off. But that has to be turned on.
