Mouse roller shoots clear to bottom of page

New computer, new to linux. (want to get rid of windows) When I used the roller on my mouse, it shoots clear to the bottom of the page. Using Fadora/Red Hat. Went to mouse settings and it will not allow me to adjust. Using Firefox as Browser.

have you tried a differant mouse? not much help but may be easier...

In my case, the fix is as simple as unplugging the transceiver dongle from the computer's USB port and plugging it right back in. Or you can shut down Windows, and restart the computer into Linux.
