Are there any other examples?

One possibility is you've got the Firefox extension installed that
lets you scroll on the tab bar and you're hovering over the tab bar at
the time you scroll.  But I'd guess you'da figured that out.

Another possibility is that the page you're viewing in Firefox is not
active.  Meaning, if you left-click once on the page, it becomes
active and the scroll wheel should work.

And there's no button click on your mouse?  Maybe accidentally you
push the scroll wheel as well as scroll it?  If the mouse is wore out
you may not even know it's happening.

If it were me I'd try connecting the mouse directly to the computer
and see if that changes anything, but only for completeness' sake.  I
don't think that would actually be it.
