Firefox ctrl+mousewheel

One of the old Firefox versions had a preference in the UI to allow different options for mousewheel use, such as multi-line and full-page mouse scroll. Well, one of my favorite was being able to make holding down control scroll a whole page. Useful in a lot of situations such as super long pages where I need to get back up to the top of the screen, or laggy computers where I need to be able to easily scroll a page at a time. Or if, for any reason, I don't want to have to scroll so much.

Anyway,
in Firefox go to
about:config

mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action

set it to 1

Let me know if you feel like you are finally living now.

Oh. And if you're viewing this with I.E. you may as well just click the little X at the top of your screen. Or better yet, push Alt+F4. Or just pack your computer up and put it back in the box.
