- Rated 5 out of 5by SJoarder, 5 years agoThis is by far the best auto-scroller for Firefox. I read a lot of books on websites that have infinite scroll where getting to the end of the chapter automatically loads in the next chapter underneath and this add-on helps immensely. User-friendly, simple in function, yet highly customizable. I've tried almost all of the other auto-scrolling add-ons on here and as I stated at the start of this review, this one's hands down the best. At the time of writing this review it beats all the other ones by more than a mile. Happy reading folks! :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14602291, 6 years agoAfter searching for something for Chrome that simply starts up and scrolls back and forth for a shop job status board, I found FoxScroller - exactly what I was looking for. Worked perfectly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 6 years agoI could love it, because it scrolls even if the tab is not active, in the background. It can be configurated to be very fast. It has all the options I need: waiting for the page to refresh, keeping scrolling on page reloaded... I'd like white list/black list or a context menu to activate the option quickly only on some tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gerhard K., 7 years agoKlasse Addon, tut, was es soll. Allerdings wäre noch das i-Tüpfelchen, wenn man einstellen könnte, ob der Scroller jeweils am Anfang und Ende der Seite eine einstellbare Zeit wartet (x Sekunden), bevor der Richtungswechsel einsetzt.
Great Addon that does what it is said to be. However I'd greatly appreciate an option to configure the Scroller that it stops for a configurable time (x seconds) before changing the direction at either the top or bottom of the page.Developer response
posted 6 years agoEs ist eine neue Version verfügbar. Dort ist genau das implementiert. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kawzen, 7 years agoThe addon stop scrolling when it detect the end of the page
please add an option to keep scrolling regardless end of the page reached or not
This is useful for sites that keep adding dynamic content)
Edit: Thank you very much!Developer response
posted 6 years agoPlease take a look at the new version. It implements exactly that. You have two ways to do it: Either set a delay before the scrolling stops at the end, so that if new content is loaded in that time the scrolling resumes. Or you can set the action at the end to "nothing" and let it scroll indefinitely. Then you have to stop it manually at the end. - Rated 5 out of 5by 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 pageDeveloper response
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.
