by Firefox user 13530013, 7 years agoWas really happy to find this since scrollyfox doesn't work anymore. It does work on multiple tabs which is great, but dosn't work once the tab has been refreshed.
UPDATE: I would be happy to give you as much feedback as possible because this is an addon I really would like to see working well. I have a computer that I use just for displaying websites that I want to monitor: Craigslist, twitter, Feedly (a news aggregate site) and then a basic weather page that I don't need scrolling. This monitor is separate from my main computer and I would rather not have to ever click over and mess with it. I just want it to cycle through these four tabs which auto refresh and then scroll down and when the reach the bottom scroll back up . I used to use 2 addons to do this one is tab rotator, and the other was scrolly fox, which quit working in the last Firefox upgrade. Your addon is the closest to scrolly fox I've found. I found the settings you mentioned and it does seem to be working now on refresh but, at least on craigslist, it 's not scrolling back up when it reaches the bottom. It seems like it does slow down the browser quite a bit, may be if there was a way to only have the active tab scrolling that would help. Please let me know what other feedback I can provide because I would really love to help make this addon great!
UPDATE2: For some reason it stopped working for feedly.com, still won't scroll back up when it reaches the bottom of a craigslist page

posted 7 years agoThank you for your review.
Could you tell me what exactly doesn't work, so that I can perhaps fix it?
Is it not possible to restart the scrolling by pressing the button after a refresh or does it not resume automatically? You can activate the automatic start after a refresh in the settings (rightclick on the addon button and then scroll down a bit).
On which website does the bug occur? If it occurs on multiple/all websites please give me an example.
Thank you very much for your help.
UPDATE: Thanks for your update. Happy that it now works for you. I will look into the performance.
UPDATE2: I just updated the addon with improved performance. I could not reproduce your problem with switching the direction on craigslist. If there are any further problems please tell me.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Himanshu Rai, a year agoI really enjoy this add on very much, but recently I tried it in Reader View of Firefox and it's not working there. If you can make it work then it would be very helpful.

- Rated 5 out of 5by LR, 2 years agoWorks great! Only thing is I wish clicking the page stopped it, or that there were multiple speed options.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ralph, 3 years agoVery useful for keeping the session of my broker's website alive. It works even for inactive tabs/windows. I would give 5 stars if the minimum speed were even slower, e.g. 0.1 px/sec or 1 px/min. Could you add that as an option?
- Rated 4 out of 5by rediffusion, 3 years ago1. Shutdown during scrolling, example:

2. When the page is scrolled to the end, the scroll is red and does not stop, wtf❓ - Rated 5 out of 5by Gotzoki, 3 years agoEste scroller es una gozada para explorar paginas infinitas (por ejemplo de texto e imàgenes) puedes activarlo en una o varias pestañas, eligiendo la velocidad de desplazamiento y la dirección... dejarlo trabajar mientras haces otras cosas y que se vayan cargando las imágenes, texto..o el contenido que buscas... Sin configuraciones complicadas. Velocidad y dirección. Para mi muy útil. (como curiosidad, lo suelo usar cuando necesito traducir páginas de otros idiomas y que son bastante largas, suelo usar para ello el mate translator, junto al scroller y se compenetran bastante bien, sin dejarse trozos de texto sin traducir, o imágenes sin cargar. después capturo el pdf y perfecto para mis necesidades...
