Could it be possible to let user choose to open or close the wheel rotating function? Really thankful for this extention btw, very handy, great job!

Hi, thanks for fixing the mouseup issue, however since the latest version, scrolling the mouse wheel no longer cycles through tabs. I am unable to find any of the customizable preferences in about:config either.
