Hi there. My scroll wheel on my mouse stopped working. Only way to scroll is to press Ctrl+Shift and then use scroll wheel, which makes it work fine. But i would prefer to not have to press down Ctrl+Shift to scroll. This problem is only happening on Firefox and no other browser or program on my computer. Do you know any solutions?

Have to keep scrolling bookmarks folders from the top instead of being able to pick up where I left off LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Also, instead of being able to right click and open bookmarks in new tabs to try and speed things up, it immediately switches to the new tab, which means having to scroll from the top of the folder AGAIN anyway. And yes, I'm well aware of the "switch to it immediately" option in the settings menu, and that box is UNCHECKED in my settings.

I'm not the only one complaining about this time waster, yet no replies from support on any of the threads.

Like the title states - now have to scroll back down through all the bookmarks in a folder because it no longer holds its place. This is a great time waster.

Thought I would try to save some time by opening bookmarks in new tabs, but it then switches to the new tab immediately and I still have to scroll back through the same folder to open the next bookmark.

Is there a fix for this issue?

Unsynced Devices Belonging To Other Household Members Opening Tabs On My Computer

Hi, I have been wanting to switch to Firefox for a while now and I have imported all of my data from Chrome onto Firefox. All the other members of my household use Firefox on their Mac laptops and iPhones. I have only ever signed into my own account on Firefox, and in the same way I have only ever signed into my own account on Mozilla VPN, which I have used for over a year while living elsewhere and have never had a problem with this. I also have only my own Google account in the data imported from Chrome. I have no one else's information for any account on anything in my device nor, to my knowledge, do they have any account information of mine on theirs. However, sometime in the 10 or so months since I imported my Chrome data - around the same time I moved into a house with others who use Firefox - my laptop's Firefox seems to have...connected somehow, in a way atypical with normal syncing, with the other devices in my house. Occasionally, when I open Firefox on my computer, whatever tab another household member has open on their computer will open instead of a homepage. Also, a little icon pops up occasionally to tell me Firefox is "open on iPhone" when another household member is using Firefox on their iPhone. I use an Android which does not have Firefox installed, so it's not a glitch syncing with my own device. I do not know how this happened and I do not know how to stop it. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of this connection in any place I can see in the preferences window, nor can I find any way to permanently unsync my device's Firefox application from anything unless I sync something first. Any ideas? I'm not that terrible with computers lol, I swear!

When I do the keybind (Control + P) or press the print icon in google apps (google docs, drawings, etc) it automatically downloads a pdf instead of opening the print menu. Chosen solution

Printing on any other site pops up with the printing options. Only on google apps does this happen, including gmail.

This problem is non-existent on Google Chrome and Edge. It does persist on Brave although. Haven't tested any other browsers.

Two updates ago, I had an issue where if I used any Google web products, I had weird network problems that just didn't go away (4000ms ping spikes every 5 packets). I noticed it was only when I was using Firefox, so i tried disabling add-ons and extensions, it still happened. I opened it in safe mode, it still happened. I tried using Chrome and Edge, both did not cause issues.

I reset my Firefox completely (There was some custom CSS to put tabs on bottom, where they belong) and it was perfectly fine! No issues! Everything was great for a few days!

Then you guys updated things again... and it was back... so I reset my Firefox again, and even straight out of the box, its still causing the issue, but now only when using google products, with or without add-ons, there is no custom CSS anymore either.

I do not know why its an issue, but it is, and it is ONLY with Firefox, and I really do not want to switch to Chrome or Edge... It also persists after Google is closed, until I restart Firefox.

I am unsure of specifically why this is happening now, but it is a MAJOR problem for me

All typed text appears blue until you break it in some ways like pressing the spacebar or moving the keyboard cursor with the arrow keys. It happens at the firefox search bar as well, and search suggestions and autocomplete doesn't work whenever it happens.

Outlook.com email service has stopped responding to clicks on "Inbox". First attempt opens the Inbox, all other clicks to go back to the "Inbox" do not work. The only way to go back to the "Inbox" is to use the back arrow in the browser, or click on "Sent"(or another file)...then click on "Inbox". The cycle continues. Been like this since I updated to 110.0.1 (64bit)

So, I have a couple of bookmarks folders with something like 200+ entries, with the folders themselves on my bookmarks toolbar. Previously, when I opened the folder from the toolbar, it would default to the last position observed, e.g. if I selected a bookmark from the middle, it'd open back up to the middle.

It's stopped doing that lately, and instead always opens to the top of the folder. I realize this sounds minor, but it's catastrophic for my use case. Anyone got any tips on how to make it revert to the previous behavior?

I have working touchpad scrolling in all windows apps except for firefox.

I tried all 3 states of `ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled` and it still doesn't work. Scrolling is working running in troubleshooting mode. I ran "refresh firefox" but it still doesn't work. I made sure all synced plugins were disabled and still doesn't work.

How can I fix it?
