- Rated 5 out of 5by Harvey Williams, 6 years agoI wish that scrolling anywhere like this was a feature of Windows rather than only being available in Firefox. It's such a useful feature that I find myself trying to use it in all kinds of programs, but it simply doesn't work.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Andre Bell, 6 years agoThank you. Works better than the middle scroll feature built into my mouse. Your addon provides better control of scrolling. Four stars only because I was expecting to see a floating green up/down arrow to replace the transparent floating arrow built into the mouse. This removes the transparent up/down arrows completely. Not a deal breaker. Functionally five-stars. Thx x2

- Rated 5 out of 5by ak47wong, 6 years agoA very worthy rendition of Marc Boullet's original Scrollbar Anywhere extension. Thank you!
I love the tip you've provided on the "About this extension" page on how to get this working on addons.mozilla.org. I've applied the same technique to support.mozilla.org too. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14071198, 6 years agothanks good add-on. but the cursor doesnt change when scrolling on my firefox(56.0.2 64bit).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14061475, 6 years agoWorks great! Without this add-on I would be much less productive! Works on Gnome 3 on Linux with Firefox 60 without problems. Thanks a lot!

posted 6 years agoHello,
You can contact me on my support e-mail. Also make sure to check the description section with known bugs - for example that the add-on doesn't work on the mozilla pages (due to security). Also after installing the add-on you may need to refresh the pages to enable it.
Anyway I just tested it in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit) using default values (middle button) and it seems to work fine.
In cases like this it's usually something easy and obvious, or maybe some other add-on is using the middle mouse click event...
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by donavan65, 7 years agoAlmost perfect but still 5 stars.When I enlarge any pic,then click to drag,then let go of mouse button image goes back to small/normal size.I would like to let go of button without image going back to default.Hope this makes sense and perhaps you can fix.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12766830, 7 years agoGreat addon. Could there be a toggle in the button to turn it on or off. Sometimes, it breaks some input box and it is a bit cumbersome to go into the addon settings to turn it on or off.

posted 7 years agoHello,
I will be releasing new version soon that will finally contains toggle switch in toolbar pop-up and toggle hot-key as well.
Until then, you can also setup also keys, that disables my add-on while being hold, like Ctrl or Alt or Shift. You can set it up in Options page.
I hope this helps for now.
Have a nice day :)
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jan Gundtofte-Bruun, 7 years agoPicks up where GrabAndDrag left off -- from an incredibly responsive developer. Great work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hans Georg Schmid, 7 years agoMakes the touchscreen on my Dell 2-in-1 usable with Firefox on Ubuntu! Thank you so much!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Folland, 7 years agoIt all started with Marc Boullet's "ScrollbarAnywhere" extension, many years ago. That extension only worked on Firefox, and stopped working a few times after new versions of Firefox were released. I tried switching to other browsers, but couldn't use them conveniently without that extension. I had a huge conversation about it on the Opera forums, tried a weak knockoff for Chrome, but nothing compared to the good old ScrollbarAnywhere. That is, nothing compared until ScrollAnywhere appeared! Now, this is exactly what I want! Juraj has done something amazing here, and forever saved the beautiful functionality I've missed from ScrollbarAnywhere. Thank you so much, Juraj!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jezze, 7 years agoJust perfect! I mean nearly. ;)
The only tiny complain I have is when I'm using grab & drag and let the mouse button go (so that the page scrolls on its own) there is a noticeable stutter. - Rated 5 out of 5by Photon89, 7 years agoJust registered here in order to rate this very useful extension and propose a feature.
I use it with a Thinkpad X200T convertible (stylus screen, no touch). I use the experimental left click option and it performs quite well. The only problem is just that when the cursor is not completely stopped while clicking on buttons inside websites (which are not text fields), the extension interprets the click as the beginning of a scrolling gesture and clicking fails. I have two proposals to tackle this problem:
1. An easy option to switch the extension on and off (a switch directly in the context menu of the extension's icon in Firefox's toolbar). I only use it in the tablet mode so I would like to switch it off in laptop mode.
2. An (adjustable) threshold of a minimum cursor speed which leads to the beginning of a scroll gesture. If the cursor is not fast enough, the mouse down event should be considered a click, not the beginning of a scrolling gesture.
But other than this minor problem the extension works very well! - Rated 5 out of 5by metarmask, 7 years ago
