Scroll to top

Post by slickrcbd »

There used to be an addon that let me quickly scroll to the top or bottom of the page for the Android version of Firefox, but lately I've only been able to find about 16 addons using the built-in "get addons" method.

What happened to all the addons, and can somebody point me to an addon that will let me do this? Navigating quickly to the top or bottom of a page on my Galaxy S9 phone can be difficult, and it's not always obvious a page is that big thanks to that stupid "infinite scrolling", especially when they put the navigation at the top.

Anyways, I'm looking for suggestions.

Hi
I wrote these
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... croll_top/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ll_bottom/

They still work - ish* -in Fx Android - I still use them - but only in nightly. See here if you don't know about that

* Pages that use what you call 'infinite scrolling' - like that Discourse site - will only scroll to the top/bottom of whatever data they've retrieved from the server.

Firefox for Android has undergone some changes, and not all add-ons are compatible with the latest version of the browser. This may be why you are having trouble finding the add-on you used to use. However, there are still add-ons available that can help you quickly scroll to the top or bottom of a page.

One add-on you can try is called "Quick Scroll." It adds a button to your Firefox toolbar that allows you to quickly scroll to the top or bottom of a page with a single tap. Another option is "Scroll to Top Mobile," which adds a floating button to your screen that you can tap to quickly scroll to the top of a page.

To find these and other add-ons, you can search for them directly on the Firefox Add-ons website, rather than using the built-in "get add-ons" method.
