[Bug 638659] Re: Enable Auto-Scroll and Smooth Scrolling by Default in Firefox

 

I think AutoScrolling should be enabled by default, but not
SmoothScrolling (it isn't enabled by default neither in Windows).

Title:
  Enable Auto-Scroll and Smooth Scrolling by Default in Firefox

Status in Firefox Extensions in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  By default, Firefox does not have Auto-Scrolling and Smooth Scrolling
  by default. This makes it seem like the middle click is 'broken'.

  There are numerous threads on the forum about this:

  Clearly, this is a big problem, and the first thing I have to fix
  after any install I do.

  The fix is very simple: Enable these two options! Tada! Feels like
  it's supposed to. It seems like a lot of linux-heads don't notice this
  one because it's been broken for so long, but for anybody coming from
  the big W, this is totally crucial.
