this annoying little window with "save page as, save to pocket, inspect element etc." keeps popping up when I try to scroll down, look at anything etc. Can anyone help me stop it?

Chosen solution

Many touchpads will send signals even when nothing is pressed. Disable the pad. Is the problem still there?

Did you press any keys by accident?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Are you using a mouse or a scroll pad?

Make sure that you aren't selecting the right mouse button context menu.
