What does Driver Easy Pro have to do with a Firefox issue?

A double-click on a scroll icon on the tab bar would normally move the tabs one screen width. A triple-click moves to the start or end.

There are toolkit.scrollbox prefs like these on the about:config page to control this behavior.

  • toolkit.scrollbox.horizontalScrollDistance
  • toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Imagine trying to delete two letters and suddenly several words are gone. A very bad design! It should be so that the amount of clicks is the amount of scroll, and holding the left or right buttons would work similarly to holding the left and right arrow keys on a text.
