Bug 143038 Make users can scroll contents horizontally with vertical wheel 
operation with a modifier

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/186794/#review192674

This is complicated enough, that I think I should re-read this after
those small nits are fixed.

Could you explain this. Currently shift+vertical wheel is back-forward.
Does this new behavior override that feature always or only when it is
enabled explicitly?

How is shift+horizontal supposed to work for back-forward if
shift+vertical is for scrolling? One often gets both horizontal and
vertical scrolling when using touchpad.

That seems like a silly reason to not use Modifier.
If you're really worried about the build time change, why not just move 
Modifier to its own header?

Cache the result in the widget? I don't see anything stored in the
widget.

No ifdef 0 code, please

Why they are 0?

Could you not use auto here. With auto I need to go to the mMultiplierY
definition to see what the type of multiplierForDeltaY is.

Again, why they are 0?

Don't use auto, pretty please.

If so, perhaps make the ctor take WidgetWheelEvent& and store using that
type too. That self-documents that it must not ever-never be null
