I experienced this behavior with the latest version of firefox (1.61a1). I believe there are two issues here. The first one is that firefox should not go into auto scroll mode if there is no content to scroll. This is what the reporter mentioned in expected result. The second one is that auto scroll mode is not cancelled even if focus is moved to another window or another tab. It seems that auto scroll mode is cancelled _only with mouse click inside conent pane_. Try to click in the menu, toolbar, tab and status bar area. The auto scroll icon is still there. This sometimes causes funny result such that every tab window has its own auto scroll. Also, it may look like imprint but actually auto scroll mode is still active. I hope someone in qa to check on this.

Scenario demonstrating a higher level of irritation: 1.Activate auto scroll mode 2.Back Button 3.Activate auto scroll mode (no effect) 4.Try to activate auto scroll mode a second time (works as it should have the attempt before)
