- 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 Firefox user 13257682, 6 years agoGreat extension. Simple and easy to use. I have been looking for a good scrolling program for awhile. THIS IS IT!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12217657, 6 years agoIt works perfectly for Dropbox, but not for OneDrive. Hopefully there is a fix or solution in the future. Other than that, it's easy to config and use this add-on. Very straightforward.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Stelian Voicu, 6 years agoIt is one of the best page scroller available at the moment in Mozilla Add-Ons!
I would like to report one "bug". When it is necessary to scroll "infinite" pages (sites with very long pages down like https://500px.com/ladybugnyanya), after a while when the distance between the scroller slider and the bottom of the scroller become very, very short, the FoxScroller stops to scroll down. It is necessary to apply again the command to scroll down, but after 2 or 3 scrolls it stops again and so on. So maybe you will fix this bug and afterwards you will receive 5*.
Anyway, good job done until now with FoxScroller! Congrats!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 let it scroll indefinitely. Then you have to stop it manually at the end. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gerhard K., 6 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, 6 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

Could you please add this feature?
Thanks a lot in advance.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThank you for your review.
You can already start/stop scrolling with a single left mouse button click on the addon button. Do you want to start/stop scrolling if you click anywhere on a webpage? - 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13594806, 7 years ago
