Scroll Lock: Disables Scrolling On Any Tab - Firefox Add-On

Scroll Lock is a Firefox browser extension designed to enhance multi-screen usage. It does this by disabling the scrolling on any web page once it's activated. This is particularly handy when using multiple screens, where some applications don't lock the mouse and unintentional scrolling occurs on windows opened on different screens. For instance, the plugin prevents accidental scrolling when playing a game with mousewheel actions while simultaneously watching a video on a separate monitor.

Add-on summary

This plugin disables scrolling on any page when activated. Simply click on the plugin icon and then select "Lock Scrolling" to disable scrolling. The intended problem this solves is when using multiple screens, some apps will not lock the mouse, causing unintentional scrolling on windows opened in different screens.

For example, if you're playing a game that requires the mousewheel, but also want to watch a video at the same time, this plugin will prevent any accidental scrolling on your 2nd monitor where you're watching your video.

This is fantastic while playing Skyrim and having youtube playing on the other screen. Often while browsing menus in-game, the scrolling gets applied to the youtube video. Very annoying. This extension fixes it, and just works.

Unfortunately it doesn't work with Twitch but it works with YT. The "scroll to the top of the page" is also a problem. But beside this it's a cool addon and I'd like to see some updates/fixes.

Unfortunately this extension didn't stop scrolling on the websites I needed it to (e.g. didn't work on facebook).
