Or, more directly, here's the patch to disable the 'middle mouse button paste' functionality in GTK.
Firefox
You can use some firefox options to both disable the default action which is to paste on clicking the middle-mouse button and also to turn on auto-scrolling.
First - in the Firefox - Preferences - Advance settings ensure you have the following options checked:
- Use Autoscrolling
- Use Smooth scrolling
Then in the Awesome bar type about:config
Search for *autoscroll and double click *general.AutoScroll to change from "false" to "true"
Now search for middlemouse
- middlemouse.contentLoadURL = false
- middlemouse.openNewWindow = false
- middlemouse.paste = false
Then restart firefox
When you middle click you should now see this symbol to scroll:

Ive found out how to configure that. Open terminal window:
find there yours mouse id number
ive got ID=8
next:
You ll see there
they are counted by numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ...
now do that:
xinput get-button-map 8
you will got something like that
numbers 4 and 5 are for "mouse wheel up scroll" and "mouse wheel down scroll"
now we will disable them with zero number:
thats all.
