Scroll bar not working correctly since latest update

In the past, when visiting websites that keep loading new content as we scroll down (like twitter), clicking the scroll bar with the mouse and grabbing it down (and not letting it go) would make it kick back up when new content loaded, but it would immediately return to where the mouse pointer is when it was moved a bit. Now when it goes up, it no longer goes back to the pointer. I have to unclick the mouse, go up and grab it again and do that over and over.

Using ver 116.0.2 on win 10.

Firefox 116 has 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.

That's a bummer. I'm so used to it that it will take a while to get used to a different way. Anyway it's not the end of the world. Do you know if there is a way of reverting it in about:config?
