I need help with touch pad controls. I get a pop up with options when scrolling on Facebook

When scrolling with two fingers in FB on my MacBook pro I get a pop up offering different options such as "back up." I can't tell you others because it does not stay on the screen even if I wanted to choose one.

MacBook Pro 16″, 13.5

Hello deflumeri,


We would like to see how we can help you with Facebook not operating as expected. Which web browser are you using when accessing Facebook? Are you seeing this pop-up with any other websites? Follow the steps in this link for help with unexpected pop-ups: Allow or block pop-ups in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


"Allow or block pop-ups on one website

  1. In the Safari app  on your Mac, go to the website.
  2. Choose Safari > Settings, then click Websites.
  3. Click Pop-up Windows on the left.


If you don’t see Pop-up Windows, be sure to scroll to the bottom of the list.


4.In the pop-up menu for the website, choose one of the following:

    • Allow: Pop-ups for the website appear.
  • Block and Notify: Pop-ups for the website don’t appear, but when you visit a website with blocked pop-ups, you can choose to show them by clicking the Show button  in the Smart Search field.
    • The Smart Search field with an icon to show blocked pop-up windows.
    • Block: Pop-ups for the website don’t appear."


Cheers!
