It is a feature many of us would like, and I think it has been
submitted through the bug tracking system. The problem seems to lie in
the possibility of Firefox believing that the held button is pressed
when it is not so, which would for example make you go backwards when
trying to follow a link (if you were originally using the rocker
behaviour to go backwards). You can find more information on the bug
report page; see URL: <http://mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2973>.
