Since upgrading to Firefox 15.0, I've had a problem with some (not all) websites, where when I click through a link to a page, the mouse scroll wheel will only resize the text larger or smaller - it won't scroll the page. And then suddenly it's fine. I'm not sure why certain pages, nor why it corrects itself (perhaps it resolves if I wait enough time?). I'll put one of the page URLs where it was just doing it before I decided to post the problem, although when I went back to get the URL and tried the scroll again, it was fine. But it really was doing it before!! LOL I'm using a Logitech M305 mouse. I've never had this problem before updating FF so I'm assuming it may just be a bug in the new version.

That can happen if the Ctrl key is pressed or if Firefox thinks that it is for some reason.

You can set mousewheel.with*.action pref(s) like mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action to 0 to perform a scroll.

Thanks Cor-el. I checked to see if any keys were pressed accidentally or stuck and didn't see anything, but it's an old keyboard so maybe it's playing tricks on me. ;-)
