How can I disable the scroll 'deceleration' that occurs when reaching the bottom (or top) of a page?
In previous versions of Firefox the mousewheel scrolled pages up or down at a constant rate.
This behavior was changed causing the scrolling speed to decelerate as the end or beginning of a page is reached. This introduces extra delay when rapidly navigating web pages.
I there a way to disable this feature?
Also, what PROBLEM is being solved by this feature?

Thanks, that eliminated the delay.
The smooth scrolling was nice (and fast), but the delay was annoying. I prefer 'snappiness' over aestheics...
There are a lot of general.smoothScroll.* prefs on the about:config page to set the smooth scrolling behavior, but I don't know if there are docs about these and which apply to your question.
It's unclear how to use those about:config items and I wasn't able to find any documentation. Tried fiddling with some of the values anyways, but no luck.
Maybe someone can add a general.smoothScroll.decelerationDisable option :)
How can I disable said Firefox scroll 'edge behaviour' (scroll 'deceleration' that occurs when reaching page bottom (or top)) without turning off smooth scroll? In other words, how can I revert scroll behaviour to version 12 or lower? I cant find any general.smoothScroll.* options related to this.
