I click the scroll bar on the right of the browser and instead of going up or down a little it rolls continuously to the top or bottom of the page. I try clicking to stop it but nothing works until it rolls to stop way past where I wanted to go. How do I correct this?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Does this happen on every page?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
