Firefox wheel mouse scrolling lines config

[NightCrawler]

Anybody know which setting will make my wheel mouse scroll more lines ?

I'm wearing my finger out.

Yeah, FF has the worst wheel support of any browser I've tried. But much like anything in FF, you have to configure the fvck out of it for it to be decent.

Get this:

And set it to turbo mode in the prefs file.

Bloody hell that extension broke it, the extension box won't open now?

Mine did that once, where it went to one line at a time..I close firefox and restarted it and it went back to the normal 3 or 4 lines a time..

Ok figured it out:

mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines = false
mousewheel.withnokey.numlines = 40

Works great now.

Unrelated to the thread, but
1 gigabyte = 1,000,000,000 bytes
1 gibibyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes

Yup accept a CD is 700 megabytes and it's a binary measure. Just because they made up a word 'gibibytes' doesn't mean it will catch on.

Yes. giga is a SI prefix that means x10^9, just because a bunch of software toolbags can't get it through their thick skull, that doesn't change that what I stated is right.

(If you would like to discuss this any further please create a new thread, before this one gets completely hijacked).

Yeah but metric and binary are different. Metric systems was invented for a completely different purpose. Orignally hard drives used the binary method so when you bought a 2 gig hard drive you actually got 2 gigs. Then some marketing yutz changed it to metric to make it look like we were getting more space.

Now we buy 200 gig hard drives that are really 186 gigs or 250 gigs which are really 232 gigs.

One day we will buy 1 terabyte hard drives that will be 931 gigs.

For god sakes just use binary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
