http://chakra-project.org – How do i get Firefox to scroll properly when i use the mousewheel.I know this about False and number of lines in About:config, but i now use 20 but still it is very slow. I get tired in my scroll finger.... In Windows i use 10 and that is far faster scroll than in Chakra....It is the same in most Linux distributions i have tested...too bad really. (HowTos)

Just installed Ubuntu 11.10. Been a while since I used any distro and I'm very impressed.

To be difficult, does anyone know how to enable the middle mouse button scroll option when browsing? I don't know if this is an OS level thing or browser config. option.

In Windows, you can usually click the mouse wheel to bring up a scroll icon when using browsers.

On Windows, most programs with large, scrollable text containers (e.g. all browsers, most word processors and IDEs) let you press the middle mouse button and then move the mouse to scroll.

Firefox scrolling problems 3 years 19 weeks ago

Hi there,

I seem to be having a problem with my firefox browser... Version 3.5.6

Is there a program/utility for increasing the number of the lines the mouse wheel will scroll when tuned (only need it for browsing) but in general would be fine to. Managed to adjust Firefox to scroll better,so far no go for Chromium

did search before posting

This is the way that Mac OS scrolling with a boring old handheld mouse works (as opposed to fancy soap bar and multitouch mice): The more and the faster you scroll, the further the mouse scrolling goes.

For instance, if I scroll one little tick on the mouse, the window scrolls a tiny amount.

Suppose I have some large datafile, which overflow the screen in both vertical and horizontal direction. How can I browse this file, while the header-lines stay on the screen?

For the moment, I am using less -S, so that I can nicely scroll my file horizontally and vertically. However, when scrolling down, the header lines obviously disappear.

hey guys, did a quick search on this here and on google to see if i could find a fix, but to no avail. it may be something very simple, but i'm very simple as well, and have not found a solution :(

i've been using ubuntu on and off for the last few years, first time using 11.04. my scroll button (button in between left and right click, below track pad) is not functioning properly.

I've configured really sweet keystrokes for switching between, and scrolling in, a tty (the Linux console).
