Neat firefox tricks

#1 Post by nine »

For those of you using Firefox on a touchscreen (especially if you use it in tablet mode on an 18/19), check out the Grab and Drag plug-in. it makes scrolling around web pages with the touchscreen really slick

I put this program on my 30 yesterday and I like it but it doesn't work anything like the video I found of it on youtube showing the flick feature (that doesn't work at all on my 30 for the life of me :()

Thanks

There's a setting under tools->grab and drag preferences on the Gestures tab called Time Limit. I have to set this to a bit longer to get the flicks to work reliably on my 18, the same thing may work for you
