hello, in case your keyboard has home/end keys, you could use those as workarounds.

true. but that's too much work :-)

i did however find the feedback menu option under the help. so i submitted the idea to the feedback people after i posted the question.

thanks again!

you're welcome - maybe you'll also like this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/scroll-to-topbottom/

You can middle click the scroll bar to jump to a specific position if you set the middlemouse.scrollbarPosition pref to true on the about:config page (default on Linux, but not on Windows)

ok.

i went to about:config and changed the attribute from false to true.

but when i middle click the mouse button on the scroll bar nothing happens.

you may have to restart the browser once for the setting to take effect (&your mouse driver shouldn't overlay the middle mouse button with another function than a plain middle click)

Yes, that is stated in the Caveats: Changes to the preference only take effect after restart.

oh, i see now.

in other words i can position my mouse on the top or bottom of the scroll bar, then click the middle button to jump to those locations.

thanks for the info.

between the add-on and this setting, i now have two ways that fixed my problem.

In normal Windows scroll bars there is a right-click context menu of the scroll bar to jump to the top and bottom, but Firefox doesn't support that feature.

thank you both for both of your solutions!
