Problem with switching tabs and opening links
While opening links, it always open in new tabs. i just want it to open in the current tab. i made some changes to do that but it didn't help. And while switching tabs by mouse, it doesn't switch and i can't even close tabs with the mouse click. All other applications work fine, so it's not a problem with the mouse. And the mouse scroll zooms in and out the page instead of scrolling. The relevant text is pasted below-

To fix this, let's start by troubleshooting a few things:
Extensions: Try disabling all your extensions temporarily to see if the issue persists. Sometimes, extensions can cause conflicts. Reset Settings: You can try refreshing Firefox, which will reset settings to default without losing your bookmarks and passwords. Type "about:support" in the address bar, then click "Refresh Firefox". Safe Mode: You mentioned you're using Safe Mode, but just to confirm, try running Firefox in Safe Mode by clicking on the menu icon, selecting "Help", and then "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". This can help identify if an extension is causing the trouble. If the issues persist after trying these steps, please let me know, and we can explore further solutions.
