In Firefox 54 and below:

• Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
• Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.

This problem is occurring on a fresh install and is therefore not a cookies or cache problem, as it happened the when I opened firefox for the first time. I deleted them anyway, but it did nothing. It persists in safe mode.

I had no problem with the link.

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:

   Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems 

   Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebG

I turned off hardware acceleration after unchecking the use recommended performance settings, and restarted Firefox, this did nothing, the problem persists.

hello....

please follow the given link easly resolve your problem:

[https://superuser.com/questions/52316.../disable-two-finger-swipe-on-firefox]

I hope resolve your problem then reply me back.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply, but it does not solve the problem.

I followed the link, but it tells you how to stop it changing the webpage to one already visited by stopping left and right scrolling. That does not tell me how to stop my webpage continuing to scroll after I take my fingers off the touchpad. I have no desire whatsoever to stop 2 finger scrolling and am perfectly capable of disabling it in Fedora's settings should I wish to. I require the scrolling as I like scrolling down webpages, it's an important navigation feature.

The problem is the bizarre continuation or commencement of scrolling after I take my fingers off, and that it doesn't stop the scrolling when I put my fingers back on. It's very odd.

Thanks anyway!

Hello ...

It was indeed the wireless mouse. Firefox is not at fault.

thank you...

Thank you Ankit Kumar. I will immediately go out and buy a wireless mouse and be sure to let it know that it's all its fault. Currently though, I do not own one, nor is there one anywhere near here.

Back in reality, I think it's a Fedora issue that Chrome overrides with it's own scrolling behaviours, and Firefox does not. Nautilus has the same scrolling issue as Firefox. Chrome is clearly better suited to Fedora 31, despite its flaws.

Perhaps sticking to Fedora forums in future may be advisable. Now, where's that mouse???

Were you doing anything at the time, pressing keys? Do you have a mouse pad? Go into the computer settings and have the pad disabled when a mouse is detacted.
