Well, asymptotically approaching the intent of the question, it may 
very well be that the Mozilla documentation is somewhat misleading. 
Another example is a reference in the help text to "System" settings 
under the "Advanced" Preferences list that only exists on the XP 
version (as of 1.7.5).

I guess, from J.O. Aho's post, that KDE has a repository of sorts that 
applications can consult (I'm using Debian woody gnome 1.4 myself). 
The most I've ever come across in terms of specifics are 
recommendations that text applications scroll by three lines "or so".

Basically, button 4 & 5 events are simply reported to the application. 
The action taken depends on what sort of data is being displayed. e.g. 
Scrolling around in a photo rendering requires a different calculation 
of the appropriate amount of movement than does scrolling in a text 
display.

In another post, you asked how to set the scroll offset. What is your 
environment, and what are you trying to accomplish?
