Chosen solution

This can happen if you hold down the Ctrl key.

You can set mousewheel.with_*.action prefs like mousewheel.withcontrol.action (on Mac mousewheel.with_meta.action) to 0 on the about:config page to prevent their default action if the Ctrl/Command key is pressed.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

well i supposed i should have said i have a PC and not a MAC. Nowhere did i say i was holding the ctrl key, guess i should have clarified. to solve the issue, i went to my touchpad properties, then adjusted the pinch to zoom and set it to off. so i solved my issue and now if someone else has the same one, there is a stupid simple solution. thank you
