Firefox fixes and addons

It's 2024, and I'm switching to Firefox because Chrome is breaking adblock.

  • uBlock Origin: The good ad blocker.
  • Gesturefy: Good gestures, including rocker+wheel gestures. Built-in interface good enough to set up your preferred gestures in a minute.
  • New Tab Override: To make new tabs load my custom launchsite; also tweak tab order.
  • Image Search Options: Get all the reverse image search options.
  • FoxyProxy: Proxy switcher (for use with ssh -D 1080).
  • TamperMonkey: Use custom scripts to augment existing websites.

Middle click opening new tabs in foreground instead of background?

Not sure what causes this, but here's the fix: in Options, find and disable "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

Get auto-scroll working

On Firefox for Linux, by default, middle click auto-scroll is disabled. I spent a long time looking for an extension to fix this, but it's just a simple option.

  • In about:config, set general.autoScroll to true
