Looking for help with #firefox

Starting several months ago, on some web pages (but not others), if I click and hold near the top of the page and then move the mouse the tiniest amount, it starts scrolling like crazy. It's not what I want, and I want to turn it off.

The problem is that I don't know what it's called. I'm comfortable in "about:config", but I don't know what I'm looking for. Does anyone know the keyword I need?

@mytwobits01 Hello. I would recommend avoiding going into about:config, should not really be needed.

Do you have an example of a website where this is happening?

Do you have any add-ons installed in Firefox?

But sometimes it's the only way :D

May be a long shot, @mytwobits01 - but maybe try setting this to false:

apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled

Ah, that looks like what's called "momentum" elsewhere (or similar). Not quite the issue here, but thanks for the pointer regardless!
