wheel scrolling speed [SOLVED]

Is there any way to change mouse wheel scrolling speed in firefox? It scrolls every 3 lines by default, i would like to change to like 5-6 lines which would make wheel scrolling much faster. Is it possible?
I'm using XFCE 4.2.1

EDIT: Ok, I solved it. To anyone interested here is the tip:
Enter about:config in the firefox address bar.
In the filter, enter: mousewheel.withnokey
Change mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines to false
Change mousewheel.withnokey.numlines to a higher number, say 5
reload firefox
done.

Found a solution for Microsoft Mouse.
After loading Windows one will need to unplug / plug again mouse receiver. And everything is fine and in normal speed.

Re: wheel scrolling speed [SOLVED]

Just a "Heads up".  You just responded to a three and a half year old thread.  Apparently, it is still an issue, so I will be leaving this thread open.  I have not seen Sherlock around for over a year.

Usually, we discourage responding to old threads as things change so fast in Linux.  We do not want to create confusion by mixing deprecated solutions that may not be applicable to newer software or hardware.  That does not seem to apply in this case.

If you are only concerned with the scrolling speed in Firefox, you could try either the Yet Another Smooth Scrolling or SmoothWheel extensions.

It also works to me!
I am using 3.11.6-1-ARCH with awesome v3.5.2 on slim 1.3.6, and i have both windows7 and Linux on my laptop.
My mice is Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth

Also I find every time i restart my linux, the mice is too fast until i cover off my laptop then open it, or just plug the receiver again...
