Browser.ctrlTab.smoothScroll

Background

Firefox 3.1 offers previews when switching between tabs, showing page titles and thumbnails of content to the user in a pop-up dialog. This preference determines whether the switching between previews uses a smooth-scrolling transition.

Possible values and their effects

True

Scroll tab previews smoothly each time Ctrl+Tab is pressed. (Default)

False

Instantly switch tab previews when Ctrl+Tab is pressed.

Caveats

• browser.ctrlTab.mostRecentlyUsed must be true for this preference to have an effect.
