Scroll Lock

Disables the scroll bar and scrolling on any tab!

What is Scroll Lock?
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.

Summary
Analyze keywords

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.

it does lock the scrolling of the webpage however it also first scrolls the page to the top so it is only useful if what you want on screen is on the top of the webpage.
