Disable scroll wheel zoom in Firefox
Posted Fri, 10/01/2010 - 6:24pm
This is probably an annoyance for all those that use keyboard CTRL commands (like, CTRL-C and CTRL-V) and accidentally keep hitting CTRL + mouse scroll wheel, which zooms in and out, or enlarges and decreases text size in your browser...
Here's how to disable that in firefox...
Firefox:
In your address bar, type in
about:configsearch for
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.actionChange the value to "0"
Restart your browser, and you're all set.
Google Chrome
Nothing available at the time of this writing...

Awesome, thanks. Ctrl+scroll

Awesome, thanks. Ctrl+scroll on the mac zooms the screen, but if I lifted a key (such as the tab in ctrl+tab) then scrolled, firefox would unexpectedly shrink or grow the font size. This has fixed that.
Works like a charm, thanks!

@Appel, Yeah, I have the same issue with notepad++, but from what I know it's not possible to disable or change this.
