Mint Linux Firefox scrollbar fix

Part of the reason I have moved away from Firefox is because of its scrollbar issue in Linux.

Ever since GTK 3 (or earlier), scrollbar in Firefox goes to when you click rather than jump a page when you click on its blank area.  This is very annoying when you are reading an article and you are not equipped with a mouse with a scroll wheel.

Anyway, the fix is quite simple.  You just need to add the below to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
 If the file doesn't exist, you just create it, i.e. touch ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
