Scrolling In Firefox - Keeps Going Mad

[joko]

im on firefox, windows 10 asus x550c

whenever i scroll down on firefox, it seems to 'stick' and scroll numerous pages - until i move the cursor away - its driving me mad

it also does it when i am in windows explorer just scrolling through pics etc

to my knowledge the cursor is set to only scroll 1 place, in settings

what can this be?

how can i stop it, its very annoying, having to keep going back
thansk

It might help us to work out what's going on if you tell us how you're attempting to scroll down:

Are you clicking within the web page and then using the scroll bar part of your touchpad?
OR
Are you click-and-dragging the scroll bar on the web page downwards?
OR
Are you using the 'Page Down' key?
OR
Are you using the 'Down arrow' key?
OR
Have you got a mouse plugged in, so that you can use a scroll wheel?

(Until we get the problem sorted out, you might like to try an alternative method, from the list above, anyway. It might help to ease your frustration!)

i am just tapping the middle of the touchpad with the cursor over the little V at the side of the window - or sometimes just above it

Make sure you click on the arrow, not just above it.

I forgot about that one!

The ASUS website suggests that, in order to achieve full touchpad functionality after installing W10, you should update the ASUS Smart Gesture driver by using this download:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Apps_for_Win10/SmartGesture/SmartGesture_WIN10_64_VER405.zip
(I note that it's a zip file. Depending upon the type, double-clicking on it might both unzip it and start the installation process or simply unzip it; if that happens you'll need to again double-click on the resulting setup file. Remember that you usually need to restart your computer in order for a new driver to take effect)

^^^A good point from Hopkirk, BTW. To scroll down gradually you need to click ON the arrowhead (NOT above it).

thanks - yes i do both depending on how much down i want to go - clicking just above it usually just scrolls one whole page - but thats when it sticks and just scrolls and scrolls
when i click the arrow it just moves about an inch at a time or so so can be a bit of a pain

i will try that link thanks
