- Rated 1 out of 5by treesap, 7 years agoIt's not for me. Effectively kills usability in exchange for aesthetics.
In essence, this extension just makes scrolls "slower." Rather than the page immediately moving to where the mouse wheel directs it, it moves there more slowly and, indeed, smoothly. It has a degree of reverse-acceleration, i.e. The first 80% of the scrolled section goes by quickly, while the last 20% moves slowly. This has the effect of making it difficult to immediately see where the page has been scrolled to, thus one cannot get the instant feedback necessary to determine whether more scrolling is necessary in order to view the part of the page desired.
Scrolling is designed to enhance usability. This extension sacrifices usability in exchange for making the action more visually pleasing.
(Side note: I fail to see why one needs to have the SetPoint software installed (and thus use a Logitech mouse) in order to use this extension. This extension is overall just marketing wank--simply another bulletpoint to add to the "features" section when selling the hardware. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15179354, 7 years agoI do not understand why such obtrusive permissions are required.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14286762, 7 years agoExtension absurdement intrusif : est-ce légal ? LISEZ les droits demandés : accès à TOUTES vos données effectuées sur Internet, même vos mots de passe ! Je vous conseille de faire comme moi : signalez ce module à Firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by clach04, 7 years agoDoes not appear to do anything/work. No difference under Windows with SetPoint Software Version: 6.69.126 (2019-04-25). Uninstalled, no idea why it needs the permissions it requests.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12745073, 7 years agoI could not find why it is required to give all those permissions: Access your data for all websites & Access browser tabs. Also it's not really updated anymore...

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14732356, 7 years agoneeds ALL web data? are you kidding me? why do most think this is ok.. just keep giving away anything they ask for, but this time its for a unneeded extension,, all my web data.. forget it
- Rated 1 out of 5by latentexistence, 7 years agoWhy does it need access to data for all websites? Unacceptable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14671411, 7 years agoDoes not work with Adobe Lightroom Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com). This extension causes the Lightroom screen to blank and it has to be reloaded to see my photos. Smooth scrolling works on just about every other website, but no on Lightroom. If you're a photographer, I'd suggest disabling the Logitech Smooth Scrolling extension for Firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by groe, 7 years agoReads all data on all websites, including my passwords? Are you kidding? I only wish this review was going to Logtitech, rather than to Firefox, but I don't see why Firefox allows such extensions.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14407294, 8 years agoShame to Logitech: why the hell this extension ask permissions to "Read your data from all Web sites" !?! Please read Firefox statement about this: it means the extension can read all data from web pages you visit, including usernames and passwords you type in !!! Unacceptable to me so I pass my way.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13329373, 8 years agoNo different than before pressing all the buttons. Most probably another way of getting even more information .
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14255601, 8 years agoIt's slowing down the launch of Firefox 63.0b12 on W7Pro and ... I don't see any WooW smooth scrolling effect. So ... Just disabled, then get back 0,5 s at launch of Firefox :).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14284450, 8 years agoIt feels unnatural and it is not helpful to work with.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gerald Squelart, 8 years agoSadly it's *too* smooth! It keeps moving for a couple of seconds after I stop moving the wheel, which makes it harder to click on things.
Also, it breaks some websites, e.g., the image viewer in Slack. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12444037, 8 years agoIm Normalbetrieb sehe ich keinen Unterschied, hingegen funktioniert auf map.geo.admin.ch das Vergrössern und Verkleinern mit dem Scrollrad nicht wie gewohnt. Ohne diese Erweitung klappt das Navigieren im Firefox hervorragend.
