Scroll bar no longer follows cursor when scrolling down a page
Normally when you drag the scroll bar down a page and new content is loaded in from below, the scroll bar stays where the cursor is (at the bottom) and you can continue to scroll downwards through the newly loaded page. But since FF116 when new content appears on page the scroll bar jumps to the middle of the page and no longer responds to downward drags.
I thought this would have been fixed in 116.0.3 but it seems to have been ignored.
Is this a bug? A deliberate change? Or is there some new setting I'm not aware of?

Firefox 116 has deliberately changed the way scrollbar thumb dragging works to avoid the scrollbar position jumping around on sites with infinite scroll (Bug 1756814). As a consequence, dragging down will no longer keep continuously loading pages. You can still quickly load multiple pages by clicking the bottom area of the scrollbar or pressing the End key.
Is there a way to re-enable it?
This is literally my main method of navigating websites and having to repeatedly locate and reclick on the ever-shrinking scroll bar every few seconds is infuriating.

Instead of dragging the scroll thumb, just click the scroll bar just above the down arrow and keep the mouse in that position like posted above. You can hold down the left mouse button (auto-repeat) to quickly move to a specific position, i.e. no need to release the mouse button.
Ignore the scrollbar thumb and click the bottom of the scrollbar. If you are clicking and holding, you might need to move the cursor around in small circles to get the thumb position to update.
