Add-on summary

With this extension, you can customize smooth scroll behavior. The extension is worth to use, if you are frustrated at any of below.

  • Step size for scrolling by the cursor keys is so short.
  • A built-in smooth scrolling is somewhat less sensitive and laggy.
  • When you flick a wheel so quick, it should scrolls farther but just count ticks of a wheel.
  • When you flick a wheel so much on a loooong web page, it should scrolls farther.

Of cource the "Access your data for all websites" permission request is for overriding scroll behavior. For instance it needs website's geometric data to know which is scrollable.

Working FF 115.16.1esr ON checkbox "If you are facing an unexpected scrolling disability after bouncing on bottom edge on some site, try this option"
by olchish, 2024-10-28

It stopped working properly on Firefox versions of months ago. Some websites have no issues at all. Some have the issue only in one iframe but not in the other. On some websites the scroll is sloppy. On some websites there is no movement at all. As soon as I disable the addon every website is scrollable again. It was good for some years. It's not anymore. This averages to 3/5
