Details

I think a good feature to have would be reverse mouse scrolling for the mouse wheel such that scrolling up would really scroll down. This would be usefull for my 4 button mouse under linux because right now I can scroll up but not down with this 4th button.

This is an operating system issue -- I don't think Mozilla should need to bother with it. In XFree86 (Linux), you can use ZAxisMapping "5 4" instead of the traditional "4 5" to make scroll-wheels work. Or, you can use xmodmap to swap button number assignments around -- `xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4"` should do what you want. I assume the mouse drivers for other operating systems have similar options. (I vaguely remember that the Logitech mouse driver for Win32 does.) If not, that's their bug.
I agree, this can be solved through OS configuration. WONTFIX.
