I would like to scroll across web pages like you can in Adobe Acrobat reader for PDFs (in every direction by holding mouse button down and dragging). But I suppose no browser offers this?

Certain mouse driver extensions offer it. Usually you assign a button to it, and it's called something to the effect of 'universal scroll'. Middle-click, get a four-way arrow cursor, and the window pans around with the mouse. IE, and a few MS apps behave that way by default.

Firefox has that feature when it's required (when the page stretches off the screen)

The middle-click four-way arrow is sort of the opposite of Acrobat Reader's hand tool. If you move the arrow up, the stuff on the screen moves down. Another difference is, the position of the arrow controls the speed of scrolling while the position of the hand directly controls the position of the stuff on screen.
