The latest version 110.0 will not permit scrolling web pages with the mouse scroll wheel unless you select scroll lock. Doing that prevents the customisation I've made using X-mouse Button Control. Note to Mozilla: if it ain't broke don't fix it!
OT What have they done to Firefox?

no prob here. Sounds more likely to me that whatever "x-mouse" is, it's not behaving like a proper mouse?

My 110.0 mouse scroll works fine, with and without scrollocks.
no prob here.

from the release notes, mozilla *is* blaming x-mouse ...
"A bug in the popular X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC) tool may cause mouse wheel scrolling to stop working. The author(s) are working on an update. Meanwhile, scrolling can be restored by reconfiguring XMBC: either disable the Make scroll wheel scroll window under cursor option in the global settings, or enable the Disable scroll window under cursor option if using a custom profile for Firefox."
Scrollocks. Is that a portmanteau term for...
Ah! I didn't see that but it's been working fine on previous versions of FF so it's something they've changed in the new one. I'll have a play with XMBC.
fat chance people can't leave well enough alone....
I don't know what version I have at work but it is experiencing a period of complete unusability.
It happens periodically.
Under Linux, currently I have old video images left in place when new you tube pages are selected, and a memory leak in javaScript that locks the machine up after 24 hours ...on certain web pages.
Ive manage to arrange thunderbird to occasionally have white text on a white background, too.
Yeah, it's on Linux. I've been here a few times before. I just use Chrome and keep checking back until it starts working again.
Thanks for that Andy. The first option works for me.
I abandoned Firefox a year or so ago, I now use Vivaldi - it's not perfect but I find it works pretty well for me in general. It's Chrome based.
Palemoon is another option its based on firefox but a much nicer GUI
