HI MaryMyers, Thank you for your question, I understand that you would like to get rid of the zoom when you scroll.

You can set the mousewheel.withcontrol.action pref (on Mac mousewheel.with_meta.action) to 1 on the about:config page to avoid zooming if the Ctrl/Command key is pressed.

If you are using the mouse to scroll, it should not zoom.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} Is there still a problem?
