About this extension

Scroll Anywhere enables you to drag scrollbar with your middle (or right / left) mouse button without actually touching a scrollbar. Just hold the middle mouse button and move up-down or left-right. You can also change the behavior to simple "grab and drag" style.

Available also for your Thunderbird 78 email client!

Be aware:

left mouse button support is experimental feature - please report any issues to my support e-mail.
Linux users may want to enable "Don't block default button action" option in Options/Advanced - to enable 'Paste' with middle button again.
in some Linux versions you may need to disable "middlemouse.contentLoadURL" in "about:config" to avoid navigating to URL from clipboard when pressing middle mouse button
