How do I disable the page zoom?
On my macbook, a page will zoom in or out whenever I hold down the command key and swipe up or down on my trackpad. This is really annoying. How do I fix this

Hi justinhustles, would it be silly to inquire "Why are you holding down command while scrolling?"
Here's how you can change what happens in this situation:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste meta and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the mousewheel.with_meta.action preference and enter the desired value:
- 1 = Scroll (ignore the Command key)
- 2 = Go Back/Forward in history (AVOID!)
- 3 = Zoom in/out (default on Mac)
- 0 = No action (AVOID!)
The zoom feature is still available using control key + scrolling. If you don't want zooming there either, the relevant preference is mousewheel.with_control.action
Success?

That works. Thanks
