Title:
[Shift + Mouse-Scroll-Wheel] Does NOT Scroll Horizontally
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In Chromium, I can scroll horizontally using my mouse-wheel by holding
down the shift key while scrolling the mouse wheel.
Firefox is missing this very convenient page-navigation short-cut.
Use Case:
As my eyes age, I find myself always scaling up the web pages I read
(by holding down crtl and scrolling my mouse wheel).
Doing this, often makes the page exceed the width of my monitor
(hiding the right-side of the text I want to read) and produces a
horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page.
At this point, since I've already used ctrl-scroll-mouse-wheel to
magnify the page, it would be wonderful if I could use shift-scroll-
mouse-wheel to horizontally-scroll the magnified page and therefore
center the (previously cropped) text that I am wanting to read.
