Bug Description
When scrolling a heavy webpage in Firefox tend to lag on my computer so that the motion of the page continues after I have stopped giving scrolling commands. If I then, before the page has stopped, press Ctrl (to Ctrl-Tab switch between tabs, for example) Firefox starts to zoom the page (as when you scroll while holding Ctrl). This is unwanted behaviour every time for me. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 5 (5.0+build1+
To reproduce:
1. Open a webpage in Firefox, preferably a large and heavy one.
2. Make sure your computer is slow enough that the scrolling motion of the page lags appreciably behind the scrolling commands of your mouse wheel.
3. Stop rolling the wheel and while the page is still scrolling, press Ctrl. This causes Firefox to zoom the page.
