Scroll one page instead of jumping to the current pointer position

I changed these settings in about:config of firefox (ubuntu) to get the scrolling work like other browsers for e.g. Chrome (windows) or chromium (Ubuntu)

widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled false 
widget.non-native-theme.gtk.scrollbar.thumb-size 1
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 15

general.smoothScroll true
general.smoothScroll.stopDecelerationWeighting 0.8
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount 60
layout.frame_rate.precise true
mousewheel.acceleration.start 1
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount 60
____
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS: 250
general.smoothScroll.currentVelocityWeighting: 0
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 25

But when I click at the bottom of the screen, it scrolls to the end instead of page down.

Update:

Here’s how I tested it on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04):

I used the "Launch Demo" button available on this site:

https://kasmweb.com/kasmvnc

I was able to test both Firefox and Chrome by visiting a site like yahoo.com. In Firefox, the cursor changes to a pointer, while in Chrome, the scrolling behaves as if the "Page Down" key is being pressed.

I am not saying one way is correct and the other is wrong. The inconsistency in behavior is quite challenging for me.

Edit (or create) the file:

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

And add the following:

[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false

Why do you have this duplicate configuration?

mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount 60
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 25

If you want to perform a page down action instead of scrolling to the end, you should try reducing that value.

  • mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: This setting determines the minimum distance a mousewheel scroll action must move to be interpreted as a "line scroll." In this case, it's set to "60" units. A larger value means you need to scroll more for each "line" of content."

Try to change the value of "general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS" to something higher than 250, like 500.

This value represents the maximum duration of the scroll animation in milliseconds.

general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS: 500
