There's a checkbox to control smooth scrolling in about:preferences#advanced , but I just tried both options and didn't notice any difference, neither when using the touchpad nor with j/k in Vimium-FF.


I have smooth scrolling disabled in about:prefs, which only disables it on my touchpad, not with vimium-ff


I just found "Use smooth scrolling" under Vimium's advanced options. Might be this page: moz-extension://78ac0671-3b7c-4a05-8771-f46ecdb2b65c/pages/options.html#advancedOptions unless that random string is unique per-user and I just broadcast my password.


When I copy this URL into the addressbar and hit Enter, it just disappears. Probably a security feature.


That doesn't happen for me, I can access the Vimium options by copying the URl. Do you have the extension installed?


Uhm, "Vimium" vor "Vimium-FF"?


As I understand it, Vimium for Chrome and Vimium-FF share the same code base (https://github.com/philc/vimium), even the addon site for Vimium-FF just calls it "Vimium" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/).

So if it's in Firefox, it's Vimium-FF. (And I'm using Firefox, in case that wasn't clear.)
