logitech wireless mouse scroll zoom
I've had my M750 for a while, and until a couple of weeks ago, holding down the command button on my Mac's keyboard while I scrolled did nothing. Except scroll through the pages on Firefox. Now for some reason, since updating to Firefox 20, even at the slightest touch of the command button, when I scroll with the scroll wheel to scroll up and down the page on Firefox 20, it zooms in and out. Very annoying. Anyone know how to disable zooming on the scroll wheel when the command key is pressed? Or is this a Firefox issue rather than a Logitech software issue? I use the command to automatically open links in a new tab. So my finger is at the ready. Just easier for me that way. But even the slightest touch of the command key activates the zoom function of the scroll wheel. And again, never an issue till now. I've actually experienced a number of annoying issues since updating to Firefox 20, to which I have had to find workarounds. This being one of the most annoying.

Set Value to 0 for mousewheel.with_meta.action
From testing, this only disables the Command + Scroll Wheel zoom in Firefox. Scrolling still works with the scroll wheel. So this IS a Firefox issue. And when updating to the latest version, it somehow reset my previous config settings. Which I guess I must set up sometime ago when I got the wireless mouse. I hope that Firefox does not change settings in future updates. Perhaps even make accessing fixes like this much simpler. Like including them in Preferences. ie. Disable/Enable Zoom with scroll wheel.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
