Hi everyone, new Firefox user here

Everytime I scroll on Firefox using two fingers on my laptop's touchpad, there is a random left-click that appears somewhere on my browser screen. There is a small grey square that very breifly appears where this click happens (I can't take a photo since it goes away too quickly).

This click gets really annoying, since sometimes it clicks one of my many bookmark folders and drags it to the tab section at the top of my browser, thus opening all of the websites inside the bookmark folder.

I'm certain that this is not an issue with my OS, since this only happens on Firefox (the grey square is also only on Firefox).

How can I disable this feature?

This is likely caused by your touchpad driver software settings.

Do you still see the "small grey square" if you disable "Use autoscrolling" in settings?

Hi,

I don't think this is an issue with my touchpad driver since this only occurs on Firefox. I even saw a Reddit user in the past ask the same question ,with no useful answer (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/g5csxk/firefox_is_doing_a_click_while_doing_the_two/).

The square still appears when I disable autoscrolling. I attached an image I took with my phone of the grey square when I scroll.
