![]() ![]() That's not too hard and is rarely a problem when you need to horizontally scroll, but just something to keep in mind. The only problem with autoscroll on Linux is it uses middle-click, so, you basically have to aim anywhere on the page that either won't open a new tab or won't paste text. Works wonders for those on a mouse and pretty much does exactly what you're looking for except you don't have to hold down anything and it works for all kinds of content. Old Grouch Use autoscroll for content that is too large for the page. I use my scroll wheel, but I still like the bar as a visual clue to know how big or small the page is. Adding in yet another thing you have to know exists to hover your mouse over to use it and another setting you have to know exists in the low level settings to enable or disable. If sites were actually utilizing all the space maybe this would matter, but they're not so all the FF devs are doing is removing context clues and things that help. Frankly, I don't really ever have a use for the scrollbar other than to know how far down the page I am or maybe to quickly scroll to the top/bottom of the page (I usually just press the home or end key instead).Yeah, especially when so many websites are like Phoronix and have shitty horizontal/16x9 layouts with almost as much padding as there is article and forum content. As mentioned though, you can always un-hide it. Considering web browsers don't have much use for horizontal space, it is pretty weird to me they would attempt to save space by removing scroll bars. ![]()
