    Tim, the Enchanter: Autoscroll in Safari, Firefox

    The Autoscroll Bookmarklet

    Bookmarklets are actually a cool little concept – make a link that runs a JavaScript command and inject code into any web-page. Brilliant! Combine this with an obsessive computer nerd with some free time on a Saturday evening (for example, me), and you get following:

    Autoscroll – The Bookmarklet

    Works in Safari and Firefox. If you’re lucky it might work in Opera, Camino, and Konqueror. If you’re at least as lucky as this guy, it might work in IE.

    Usage

    Click the really big link above to activate auto-scroll (you may want to make your window small enough to have significant scroll space

    Here’s the buttons to push:

    0-9 : Set scroll speed, 0 being stand-still and 9 being skim-speed
    – : Decrease speed
    = : Increase speed
    shift + – : Decrease speed quickly
    shift + = : Increase speed quickly
    escape : Quit

    Installation:

    If you’d like to pack this sweet action with you, drag the “Autoscroll” link to your bookmarks tool bar.

    This is supercool little add on to Firefox. It scrolls your page at a nice gentle pace so you don't have to get tired arm or sore finger from your touch pad. Thanks to @arc90 for tweeting this.

    As I spend hours on the internet I sometimes find things to share with everyone, usually products that you can buy and which I think are worth buying. Posterous is a good place to share.
