Just a random query, too, I got to your page googling for autoscroll.
really good info on how to turn off that peskiferous habit that is Default in Firefox of trying to autoscroll and getting a random web page.
But I was wondering, if you could, please do tell, how can I make autoscroll work like bookreader? are there any presets at all in Firefox?
What I mean is a little script that would work like "back to top" then "repeat scroll."
This would be, of course, so I could read some gazillion word text file like Gutenberg projects Compleat Werkes of William Shakespeare at a fair clip, two or three times or however many times it takes to memorize it.
Kind of like mnenomics on steroids. Some of the man pages are enough to bust my eyes out of their sockets scrolling back and forth, and it would be best to just do something like that and memorize them l..e..t..t..e..r.. ..b..y.. ..l..e..t..t..e..r..
like the way one is supposed to learn touch-typing.
