I dont think this is a addin feature that I have may have downloaded and forgot about

263036 2004-08-18 14:53:00 Hi Beama

It works for me too, but you have to just roll the scroll wheel and not press down on it. If I press down on the wheel while moving it it doesn't work.

My optical mouse has a feature called "scroll active". You click down on the scroll wheel and release it. The word "Scroll Active" appears on task bar and you just move the mouse up and down and it scrolls up and down, and from left to right/right to left as well. [useful when you enlarge text on a page and it becomes too wide for your screen]. Also noticed that when it is turned on and I'm in this reply box, that it attaches to the cursor and can move it left to right/right to left.
Unfortunately, it has stopped me using the scroll wheel to close a tab.

263038 2004-08-19 06:28:00 Hey that's a nice trick (didn't know it myself).

However it's included in an extension you have. Namely "All-In-One Gestures" (I have version 0.11.1)

And the feature itself is called "scroll wheel navigation". (you can also change it to navigate through tabs instead of your history)

BTW. I think that some of the mouse gesture extensions may overlap in functionality a bit, so maybe you have a different extension that can do the same thing.

But thanks for pointing that out, I believe I'll use it.
Firefox 0.9.2
