When I am trying to scroll up and down a page a small upright oval appears wit a line across the middle and a dot in the top and bottom half, My scrolling then goes wild, what is this symbol called and how do I remove it from Firefox on my Mac? I have stopped using Firefox because of it except for sites that won;t work for Safari or Chrome.

You enter autoscrolling if you middle click with the mouse wheel on a web page.

You can disable this feature here:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"

I have a Mac, If I click on Tools, options is not one of the choices.
