Features & Capabilities

Stops GitHub from auto-scrolling (Actions logs, PR diffs, etc.). User-initiated scrolling and clicking anchor links still work.

Tired of GitHub yanking you to the bottom of an Actions log every time a new line streams in? Or losing your place in a PR diff because new comments loaded? This extension fixes that.

WHAT IT DOES • Blocks programmatic auto-scrolling on every github.com page • Disables browser scroll-anchoring so live-updating containers don't silently re-pin to the bottom • Stays out of the way: anchor links (#section), keyboard nav, and your own scroll wheel still work normally

EXTRA BUTTONS • Scroll-to-top — bottom-right floating button, appears when you've scrolled down • Scroll-to-bottom / live-follow — second bottom-right button. One click scrolls to the bottom; while active it follows new content as it streams. Click again or scroll up to stop following.

HOW IT WORKS The extension runs only on github.com. It patches the standard scroll APIs (scrollIntoView, scrollTo, scrollTop, etc.) so calls made by GitHub's own JavaScript get ignored — but the same calls triggered by your clicks, keys, or wheel events go through normally.

PRIVACY This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any data. No analytics, no tracking, no remote calls. All code runs locally in your browser.

PERMISSIONS • Access to github.com and *.github.com — required to inject the scroll-blocking script. No other sites are touched.

Is GitHub No Auto-Scroll Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub No Auto-Scroll requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

GitHub No Auto-Scroll is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
