When I revert to 771509552a2e, then it works.
So, I think the following change sets to be the one of the causes.

On my Windows XP system, I middle-click a link to a PDF in Firefox 3.6.12 to have it open in a new tab, but without changing focus to the new tab.  Then I try to scroll the current page with the wheel.  The current page doesn't scroll.  But if I then switch to the tab with the PDF, I see that the PDF has scrolled, even though it wasn't visible at the time.
