How do I prevent tab focus from changing when I scroll tabs with the mouse wheel? [SOLVED]

Whenever I scroll my tabs with the mouse scroll wheel the tab focus changes from the page I'm currently on to the tab being scrolled to. I usually have a large list of tabs open and I depend on being able to scroll tabs without changing page focus to keep myself organized.

Also, I'd like to disable tab scroll wrapping; Once I've scrolled my tabs to the end I'd like it to stop scrolling, not wrap around to the start of my tabs.

Is there a way to disable these features and revert to the tab scrolling behaviour of a previous version of Firefox?

This is not a standard feature and can be caused by an extension.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You're right. It was a new version of the Mouse Gestures add-on that was the culprit. Thanks for your help. I didn't even consider add-ons being the problem.
