Hi, thanks, but no i don't use [don't like] FF, i use Vivaldi [chromium-based]. We're having a discussion about this over there in one forum. The topic is the lack of middle-click autoscroll in Linux chromium-based browsers compared to Windows ones. My longterm workaround for this is to use the AutoScroll extension in Vivaldi, Chromium & Slimjet, but others in the discussion [& i agree] would prefer that we had this function natively [like indeed FF has, even in Linux] rather than have to use an extension for it. One poster in the V forum had an interesting idea; given that chromium-based browsers in Windows do have this native function, maybe its enabling code is still in those browsers' Linux versions too, but gets blocked or disabled by Linux's inbuilt middle-click paste function. Personally i doubt this but concede it's a possibility, however i have no way to test this unless i first can disable that middle-click paste function... & then see if middle-clicking on web pages in V, C & S magically initiates the autoscrolling function we seek.
