1356912 - Firefox should allow users to reduce page down distance

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, enhancement, P3)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170323105023

Steps to reproduce:

Due to sensory issues, I use a large Firefox window on a large screen, and usually use Reader View. Unless top bars or side bars encroach, sheer effects are far away on the edge of the window, and it's easier to read the middle of the window.

Due to coordination issues, I use a special mouse and special software to scroll. One part is to use two mouse buttons for page up and page down.


Actual results:

... But when I page up or page down, it goes too far.

If I read 3/4 of the way down the window, and page down so I can continue to read at a reasonable height and away from sheer effects, I have to page back up to get to my place.


Expected results:

There ought to be some way for users to adjust the page up/page down distances.

I would be able to set the page down distance to 1/2 page, and continue reading without trouble.

bug 780345 and bug 1224307 rely on automatic "fixes" but these fixes aren't working.
