    How to Stop Firefox scrolling through history

    If you use a trackpad on a laptop, you may find that Firefox scrolls back and forward through history as you move the mouse pointer over its window.

    Solution
    This behavior can be prevented in the Firefox configuration.

    • Enter about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
    • Search for mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action.
    • Double-click this item and set its value to 0.
    • Search for mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines.
    • Double-click it to change the value from false to true.



    Applies to
    • Mozilla Firefox

    Re: How to Stop Firefox scrolling through history

    Firefox has always stood out for its customization possibilities. There are thousands of plugins for different purposes, which increase the use of a browser, giving you new features and optimizing some original resources. It is good to remember that the more add-ons are installed, Firefox will be heavier. The first thing you do is a cleaning section add-ons (Tools > Add-ons), disabling or uninstalling extensions that use little, so that the browser is more "loose" to be executed. "Squeeze out" the fullest, to leave active only what is really essential.
