Autoscroll using Win7 default instead of Firefox override

It appears that Firefox implements it's own version of autoscrolling on middle click on Windows 7. I say this because the icon does not look the same as in other Windows apps, and more importantly because of a specific behavior difference. In applications that use the generic Win7 autoscroll, moving the wheel up or down will cancel the autoscroll. Firefox doesn't do this; it moves a the page a little bit thanks to the scroll moving, but the autoscroll is still on. There does not appear to be a way to make Firefox just pass through the middle click to Windows, nor is there apparently a way to cancel on wheel movement. Is there any thing I can do to get this behavior? Thanks.

Although not common, I am apparently not the only one who cards about this:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/802742?s=autoscroll&r=11&as=s
I did not see that thread before I posted, although I am asking for something slightly deeper. I want an option to use the Windows default autoscroll / pan function rather than Firefox's override of it, which as a nice side benefit will give me the functionality of cancelling on scroll wheel movement.

  • Decimal Notation in SMARTFORMS to use plant default instead of user

    Hi All,
    Currently, the form is printed sometimes using user decimal notation and sometimes using plant.
    For new plant, the default is still 123.456,00.
    However, the user one is 123,456.00.
    At times, when the user tried to print invoices and etc, it will come out as 123,456.00 but at times, it comes out as 123.456,00.
    The form output should be using either plant or user.
    Where is the settings which can be changed?
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Hi,
    The decimal notations depend on the country settings specified in the system.
    Hence, you can override the settings by using program lines in smartforms in which you can write as below.
    SET COUNTRY 'US'. ( example taken as US ).
    So, whichever country decimal notation you want in the display you can set it like above.
    Regards,
    Ram

  • Recently no matter what I do, Firefox will not allow me to use Adobe Reader instead of it's own

    I used to be able to display pdf documents using Adobe Reader instead of Firefox's built in. I have tried everything that you suggest and that Adobe suggest. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader (11.0.09). I have gone to the options in Mozilla but when I try to change the Portable Document settings, I don't get the option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I do get the for Adobe Forms, but not for PDF documents. If I change it to use Adobe Reader, it downloads and then opens reader which is not I want. I want to use the plugin which is installed (I go to Add-ons and it is installed and "always activate").
    Help? This only started happening in the last month or so. I am running latest released Firefox (33.0.2), Windows 7 (up to date with all updates, etc.).

    That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
    I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
    This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
    I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.

  • How to go back to Firefox 3.6? I cannot use Norton Identity Safe on Firefox 4 and I need use it often.

    I was using earlier version of Firefox and it worked perfectly. Then I changed over to the 4.0 version and now I can no longer use the Norton Identity Safe. This is no good for me. I am now having to use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I would prefer to use Firefox. How can I go back to the earlier 3.6 version which was just fine as it was. The 4.0 version is good also except for knocking out the use of Norton Security features.

    I need to return to Firefox 3 because I do not have an Intel Mac. The Mozilla window telling me to upgrade kept showing up, so I upgraded. But now I can't find an earlier version of Firefox to download.

  • Views- icon and list, use as defaults issues

    Going from Tiger to Leopard, this new operation of views is different. Ok, just a statement. I have noticed that all of a sudden (I think going from 10.5.3 to 10.5.4), the "use as defaults" button doesn't really seem to do anything. If I have the main HD window open, in icon view, and then open view options and select "use as defaults" (after making some change in order for that button to be clickable), I can go back to other windows and they are still at list view. I made sure the "always open...." is not selected in those other windows. I thought the "use as defaults" was suppose to override and change every window there after to whatever you had set when you clicked use as defaults.
    I also notice that if I open the main HD window and have it in icon view, then open the applications window and move it from icon to list and close it, every other window I open will be in list view.

    Nope, once you set a window's settings, it'll retain it until you change it. The *use as defaults* only pertains to the window you're in and any folders you haven't already opened.

  • I accidentally changed my default browser to Firefox. I need it back on IE. Now, my shortcut to IE goes to Firefox instead. So, I don't have IE to change it. How can I change my default browser back to IE through Firefox? Thanks!

    Don't know what else to add. I always use Firefox. My husband refuses to. I have a shortcut for him to get to the internet, and it always came up to via IE. Now, I somehow accidentally changed the default browser to Firefox, so when using that shortcut, it takes him to the Firefox browser instead of IE. He is furious! How can I change it back?

    You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys<br />
    Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs<br />
    Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'<br />
    Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
    Check the default settings in:<br />
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left)<br />
    Open: Custom (click arrow on the right)<br />
    Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser"<br />
    Click OK

  • How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

    I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

    First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

  • I currently have a mac osx, and my CC keeps coming saying its expired, when it should be running the CS6 design standard.  So how do I get my platform to use the CS6 as my default instead of the CC one.

  • Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is selected

    Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is not selected. The irritating thing is that Firefox used to display pages until FF 31. Please fix this
    Thanks
    Randy

    The missing icons are supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
    You will have to make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts to see such an icon font.

  • Netscape mail wont use firefox as default browser even though set up as default browser in firefox.

    I want to continue using Netscape Mail 7.2, but when I click on a web link I want it to use Firefox browser. I set Firefox as default browser in Firefox options, but it is not staying set when I look again. I don't know if Netscape is resetting it or what.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Stan

    I had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
    Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
    So anyway, FYI about that. ;-)

  • How do i download files using other downloader (like orbit downloader) instead of firefox downloader itself?

    how do i download files using other downloader (like orbit downloader) instead of firefox downloader itself?
    please give me detailed steps to do it
    i have orbit downloader

    I tried it again, and this time when I resumed it lost about 10Mbytes, so I guess this means that the app store downloader saves its data every 10MBytes.
    I will try downloading the whole thing again(XCode4) and just hope that this time I can get the whole download before it decides to wipe out what it has already downloaded.

  • IE it tries to make itself default browser instead of Firefox

    If a program starts IE it makes itself default browser. McAfee warns me and offers to change it back. Recent occurrence: I attempted to purchase Serif PagePlus updated version this started IE which then made itself default.
