my pages resize while I scroll
as I scroll a page it keeps getting smaller. I have to resize the page with each scroll. This is ridiculous. How do I stop it? Thank you

Firefox should only zoom the page if you are scrolling the page while holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
If that doesn't fix the issue, you can disable this function by doing the following:
- Type
about:configin the Firefox address bar - Bypass the security warning
- Find the
mousewheel.with_meta.actionpreference - Set the value to
1
NOTE: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.Bu yanıtı konu içinde okuyun 👍 1

Thank you for your help! It works correctly when I'm in safe mode. Now I just have to see which extension(s) is causing the problem. I do appreciate your help!
