Thank you kindly! After I issued

  xinput set-prop "HID 04d9:a088 Mouse" "libinput Button Scrolling Button" 3
it works, because this trackball does not have the default button 2. All with precise and smooth scrolling where it's supported. I'll enable smooth scrolling on Firefox to make use of it. Now I'll only figure out if there is a setting to keep it enabled by default - to inverse the scroll button behavior.

EDIT: Issuing

   xinput set-prop "HID 04d9:a088 Mouse" "libinput Button Scrolling Button Lock Enabled" 1
Changes the scroll button behavior to a toggle. So it is exactly as I wanted. Perfect! Thanks again!

If you're using xinit (or startx) to fire up you Xorg, you can run the xinput commands in your xinitrc: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit

A decent window manager or desktop environment setup (if it isn't intended for running with xinit) will offer some other way of automating this.

But there's also the option of doing this configuration on the Xorg server side in some xorg.conf, like in the links I gave previously.
