Mouse wheel wont resize pages anymore

All of a sudden, holding down the mouse button and scrolling the mouse wheel wont resize the webpages anymore. Not sure what happened, if it was an update on an add-on or what? How can I fix it? I tried disabling the add-on I thought could've caused the problem (Zoom Page WE), but that didn't fix it. It's Alienware 15R4, Windows 10 Home Edition, Version 1903, with Firefox 71.0 64 bit.

Does it work at all if you do the normal combination? Control + Mousewheel to try resizing the page?

Or does that not work either?

That worked on this webpage, but not my yahoo mail, like it usually does.

I opened yahoo mail on a new tab and now it's working there.

The mouse wheel is working there too now, but I tried opening this webpage on a new tap and it didn't work there.

was your cursor in the same place when you tested it? It has to be within the window(below the tabs etc) to make it work. just checking

Yeah, doesn't seem to matter where on this page I try the wheel, wont work. It's now working on all the other webpages I try. Seems this one now is the issue, lol. Maybe we can just forget about it. Thanks.
