Yank It! Firefox

Yank It!

By: Sarah
Changes middle-mouse autoscrolling to a mobile-like dragging gesture.

Features & Capabilities

Replaces Firefox's autoscroll function on the middle mouse button with a middle-click-and-drag system that acts like a typical mobile browser with support for a flicking gesture to quickly scroll through a page. Flicking and inertia can be adjusted or disabled completely. This addon also has a built-in toggle in its popup menu so you can quickly enable or disable it and revert to default behavior without going to the addon settings page. Holding shift while middle-clicking will also force default Firefox behavior.

Is Yank It! 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.

Yank It! requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
