I first noticed that change in behaviour with F21 (where Firefox still
uses GTK2 AFAIK); looking closer, in F21 this change affected GTK2
apps that used the default Adwaita theme. But it seems to affect GTK3
apps natively (or more I can't find any other GTK3 themes to test
with).

Fortunately in an older thread[1] on this ML, someone found a way to
revert to the old/default behaviour by putting this in
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini:
[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0


you'll need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
