Firefox 50

**CARLTON BROWN** · December 3rd, 2016, 11:03 PM

Firefox updated itself quite recently to 50 and a few days ago, altered again to 50.0.2.

What I have noticed is a slight buzzing while scrolling a page up and down. The sound level cannot be altered by adjusting the volume control and admittedly, it's pretty faint.

But it's not there on Explorer or another browser.

I have seen one or two reports of similar issues with Firefox online, but nobody seems to have any idea what the problem is.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

I have the same version of Firefox and cannot hear any buzzing at all, and I have very acute hearing.

Why would a browser make sound, unless it's an actual error.

I wish I could make sense of it, but MS Internet Explorer doesn't do this and I've never had this strange problem before. My first thought was a hardware problem. but it only happens with Firefox and there are other users on forums with unusual scrolling issues.
