Mouse scroll wheel "effects" are driving me nuts
I admit, I don't read about updates so I don't know when Firefox did all these "enhancements"...but I'd love to know how to turn my mouse wheel BACK into a "scroll through the page" only function. I hate it auto opening links, I hate it scrolling through tabs. I suspect it of doing other "helpful" functions...and I can't even find the right words to do a search for this. The only applicable setting I found is "autoscroll"...which is turned off in my preferences...and which the browser STILL does.
All I want is for my wheel to scroll through the page...under my control. No auto-stuff. There's no setting for this in my mouse controls, as far as I've been able to determine, and it didn't used to do this. It must be in a Firefox update. Is this even possible any longer? Or am I, after decades with Firefox, going to have to change browsers? At this point, I've had far too many important operations disrupted and even fouled by this "helpful" change.
Pleeeease help?

One fairly recent feature is Link Preview. That pops up an image and summary of a linked page. More info (description, steps to disable) in the following article: Preview webpages in Firefox with link preview.
If the pointer is positioned over the tab bar, and there are more tabs than can fit in the space available, it's normal for the wheel to scroll the tabs. This shouldn't interfere with scrolling pages.
