Horizontal scrolling in Firefox to Shift+Mouse Scroll (instead of Back/Forward)

On Ubuntu 13.10, with Chrome browser, gedit, Gimp etc. the Shift + Mouse Scroll == Horizontal scroll.

With Firefox (26.0) it behaves as Back/Forward page, which is really annoying.

How I can disable the Back/Forward functionality, and change it to horizontal scroll?

Since Firefox 58 (this commit in particular) horizontal scrolling is the default action of Shift+Wheel, so no need to do anything special except upgrading Firefox.
