Arrow keys scroll three lines instead of one as of FF10, fix?

As of FF10, I can no longer scroll a single line in the browser and it is driving me nuts. Is there a way to go back to one line per arrow press scroll? Thanks!

That seems to be a change in Firefox 10.

Maybe one of these extensions help.

You may have Switched ON Caret Browsing

  • press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to Toggle on/Off Caret Browsing

Check and tell if its working.


Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated

  • Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)

I know some of them are, the ones that are I let be that way as I don't use them. Thank you anyways.

Thank you, I will try that. It is a pity they did that without giving people the option to change it. If I remember correctly (as it has been YEARS) IE used to let you change how much it scrolled XD.

Not the best solution (smooth scrolling slows down my computer) but most assuredly better than that silly three line thing! Thank you!

Maybe file a feature request bug to have the keyboard scroll amount set via a pref for accessibility.

Sorry for post spam. I love this, thank you! *takes back what she said before*
