Odd. I use Iceweasel and Icedove, but they 'should' behave the same as
Firefox and Thunderbird. In my case the mouse buttons and the vertical
scroll bar act the same with both applications.

I have smoothscrolling enabled (autoscrolling is off) in Icedove
(Thunderbird) and use the Nuvola theme. The same with Iceweasel
(Firefox) except that hardware acceleration is enabled.

kde-config-gtk-style uses O2_Air for GTK2, and Default for GTK3
