The Minority Report

This was worth stealin…I mean hat tipping. I’ve been using it already. I am setting my scroll speed as high as it will go so I can skim Google Reader, for example, much faster and then slow down on the stuff I want to read.

Raghav’s tip couldn’t be simpler—just hold down the Alt key (or Cmd for Mac users) while using the mouse wheel to scroll the page, and Firefox will scroll at a nice smooth pace instead of flying down the page like normal.
