End autoscroll with wheel movement.

About a year ago I asked if there was away to cancel autoscrolling with wheel movement. Someone else had asked the same question 6 months prior to that. Both questions were closed with no answer. Does anyone have a solution for this? In literally every Windows program, moving the mouse wheel ends the autoscrolling, but not if Firefox. Note that I want to use autoscrolling, I just need it to end on mouse wheel. This may seem minor, but the "muscle memory" of doing this makes it virtually impossible for me to use Firefox as my default browser.

A click with one of the mouse buttons (left, right, middle button) should cancel auto-scrolling.

I am aware that clicking will end auto scrolling. However, moving the mouse wheel should ALSO end auto scrolling. That is the standard behavior on Windows, at least. Firefox does not work that way, for some reason, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get it to work that way.
