There are shortcuts to scroll left/right by a line. But no way to scroll left/right by a page (browser-width). The functionality of clicking on the scroll bar accomplishes this - I would just like a keyboard shortcut as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

What's wrong with PgUp/PgDn & arrow up/down?

maybe Shift-PgUp/PgDn would be most appropriate? Do we really need this, considering the vertical orientation of nearly all pages?

In bug 70155, I suggested Alt+PgDn for scrolling a page at a time and Aaron Leventhal suggested Ctrl+Right. The only horizontally-scrolling pages I can think of are comics such as http://www.smallstoriesonline.com/Comics/10Commandments/10Commandments.htm, unwrapped plain text pages, and forums on which a single post with a long URL or wide image makes all paragraphs in all posts too wide. For comics, scrolling a brwoser-width at a time wouldn't work because the right edge of the browser might be near the center of a panel. For plain text pages, Firefox should at least soft-wrap (bug 253564) to make horizontal scrolling unnecessary. As for forums, it would be nice if forum software would stop using broken table layouts. I think the best solution is to make arrow keys scroll a larger distance, both for vertical arrow keys (see bug 200213) and horizontal arrow keys.

I don't care too much about what the keyboard shortcut is (since that can be changed by a user)... Making the arrow keys scroll by a large amount would be fine, although then I would suggest making shift-ArrowX scroll by a single line for when someone really wants that precise control. The places I most often want this functionality are: * plain text pages (yes, word wrapping would help if it is turned on) * view source (I presume wrapping would be done here as well) * viewing large images (when they aren't zoome to fit the window)

> * view source (I presume wrapping would be done here as well) See the View menu in that window and turn on wrapping?

any news about this?

Scrollkey provides a shortcut to do this. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scrollkey/
