Research direction

Start by running the attached mesh3d_test.zip notebook in JupyterLab with Firefox and compare its 3D mouse-wheel behavior with a Chromium-based browser. Trace the JupyterLab Plotly 3D output and browser event handling, then verify that mouse-wheel zoom works in Firefox without regressing Chromium behavior.
