Tamas, Have you tried using the AdblockFirefox extension? I use Seamonkey or Skipstone (both using the gecko engine, (same as Firefox) on Linux and haven't noticed this problem. Or can you change the sensitivity of the mouse wheel? There are settings for the mousewheel if you browse to the "about:config" window. I'm not sure if there's a sensitivity setting that you can adjust, but there's all sorts of settings for the wheel. Sometimes you may have to add a new text string. A google search may provide a fix.
