- Rated 1 out of 5by luna, 7 years agoi hold down right click, i press right click, i hold down left click, i uninstall, i reinstall, i reset my computer i reset firefox and this app STILL doesnt work. i had hoped this was like the previous tabscroll addon from the previous versions but its so much worse. in the old version you only had to hover over the tabs and scroll. please fix.
Update to authors response. Your addon literally states "A simple addon that does one simple thing. It allows you to scroll through your tabs with the mouse wheel, while holding the right button down" so when you cannot scroll through your tabs with the mouse wheel while holding the right button down (which thats not clear either a developer should be a little be more specific than "right button" but i used both right on the directional arrows and right click) then the add on is a failure. It seems YOU have not read my review and are reacting at a bad review. If you dont want bad reviews then have a working add-on. If your add on doesnt "allow you to scroll through your tabs with the mouse wheel, while holding the right button down" then why advertise it??Developer response
posted 7 years agoIt appears you have not read what this add-on actually does!
It looks like you've taken a guess at what it does and when you've discovered that's actually not what it's for you have blamed the add-on for your misunderstanding and left a one star review.
The function of the add-on, including its limitations, is clearly stated in the description. Add-ons cannot interact with the tab bar in the way you request, nor was it ever the intention of this add-on to provide that functionality. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14206541, 7 years agoHello, but why other add-ons work with dial/home page, or add-on page ?!!
Move Tab Hotkeys works on thoses pages and keyboard key is captured.Developer response
posted 7 years agoPresumably because these addons (which you haven't named, so I can look at them) do not run in the webpage at all - hence they can run on non-web pages and pages where addon content scripts are blocked, like the mozilla addons site). This addon requires code to run in the page to capture the users interaction with it (mouse buttons and wheel). If you don't believe me please see the the Mozilla documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Content_scripts - Rated 4 out of 5by ovnis82, 7 years agoHello, very good add, but why it doesen't work with some pages like dial/home page or add-on page ?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe options page (and similar) aren't web pages, so addons simply do not get run on them. Also, Firefox specifically blocks addons from running on pages of the Mozilla addon website (to prevent malicious addons being able to hijack others). - Rated 3 out of 5by William, 7 years agoThanks for the great job. It works nice on Windows 10 with Firefox 60.0.1, but it's not working on Mac High Sierra 10.13.1 with Firefox 60.0.1.

posted 7 years agoHi. I have now implemented OSX support via a slightly different mechanism, please try v1.0.6. Developer response
posted 7 years agoActually it works perfectly on FF60 on Linux (and Windows) as I'm using it here on both right now.
Please read the limitations section on the addon information page, as you're probably testing it one of those scenarios (for example it will not work on this page, because no addons can run on addons.mozilla.org).
If you continue to have problems please raise an issue on GitHub and I'll look into it for you.- Rated 5 out of 5by Wyn L. StaxXx, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by js-ddev, 7 years agoThanks for bringing this feature back to life !
Would it be possible to assign another button than mouse right to activate the scroll ?
Not the most convenient with laptops...Developer response
posted 7 years agoI can look at allowing a choice of mouse button, for example the middle one, but would that be any more convenient? Feel free to open an issue on githhub and we can discuss your requirements and see what's possible. Developer response
posted 7 years agoYes it does, it's been tested extensively on v58 because support for Linux was added at this version. Perhaps you can supply more information (open an issue on GitHub where there can be a proper discussion) on your problem and I will try to help you with it. Please also be sure to read the addon information, especially the limitations section for details of where the addon cannot operate.- Rated 3 out of 5by 果駱客, 7 years agomust said I'm really glad and excited you made this, however it's not very convenient for two finger mouse user...QQ

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sinica, 7 years agoThank you! This works just as advertised. TabWheelScroll was a must-have for me. I would've foregone using Firefox completely without this feature.
Didn't seem to work when first installed, but like another reviewer said it was because I tried it while hovering over the tab bar first instead of the page. The second because I was on the add-ons manager page, so I opened a few new tabs to check it out. Works great! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13513311, 7 years agoDoes the trick! I was holding the right mouse button and scrolling in the tab bar itself on my first attempt, as that was how an old TabWheelScroll extension worked. However the TabScroller requires you hold the button and scroll within the main page view window. Does a great job too - especially like the option to swap scroll direction. Good effort, cheers!
- Rated 3 out of 5by the Mole of Production, 7 years agoDoes nothing.
You want me to submit a bug report instead of a negative review when it doesn't work at all? Tough.
Edit: I'm a jerk. Sorry. It does work. I didn't read the reviews/documentation carefully.
I'm just bitter that TabmixPlus is broken and I took it out on you. Sorry. - Rated 1 out of 5by Walker Texas Ranger, 7 years agoЭта хуйня не работает.
То есть вообще не работает.

And what to describe? - Does not work. Nothing. Or not there is this plugin - no difference.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you have having difficulty why not raise an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/raburton/tabscroller/issues) and I can try to help you with it. Perhaps you are using an untested platform for which I can add support, but you have not provided any information at all in your review to help identify your problem.
Update: Why not raise an issue on GitHub and we can have a discussion, this isn't really the best place. A good starting point when opening an issue would be to include what version of Firefox you are using and what platform you are on. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13486356, 7 years agoI feel stuff like this should be defaulted into the browser. Too useful not to have.
