How can I stop tabs from suddenly moving too fast when scrolling through them?

I have a lot of tabs that I keep open all the time and when I use the left or right scroll arrows to cycle through the ones near my current tab, I want them to scroll AT THE SAME SPEED ALL THE TIME!

I DO NOT WANT the acceleration feature that seems to kick in if I click on the arrow for more than a few seconds. I appreciate the attempt to make this more efficient, but it actually is more of a major annoyance than anything else and there seems to be NO WAY TO TURN THIS OFF! When I want to go to a tab far away from were I am, I will use the drop-down dialog. Does ANYONE actually like that acceleration?!?! I cannot fathom why.

How do I turn off this stupidly useless "feature"?

Thanks!

Thank you. I adjusted the default value of 150 for toolkit.scrollbox.clickToScroll.scrollDelay to 15000. That seems to take care of my problem.

If you click too fast and aren't moving the mouse of the scroll button then Firefox sees this as a double to triple click.

  • a double-click mouse one window width
  • a triple-click moves to the first tab or last tab

There are also toolkit.scrollbox prefs that relate to the Tab bar.

  • toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement
  • toolkit.scrollbox.smoothScroll
