Smooth scrolling in Firefox / Windows 10 / Huawei Matebook
Hello,
My scrolling experience is not as smooth as before on Firefox on Windows 10.
Previously had a perfect smooth scrolling capability, but now the scroll is more laggy. I don't have the issue with Microsoft Edge : completely smooth. I'm using a logitech mouse M390 with smooth scroll feature enabled.
I suspect something has changed in latest release of Firefox on Windows which impact the scrolling experience. Anyone has noticed the same behavior ?
Just reinstalled my laptop from scratch : same issue.
Thanks for your feedback ! Have a pleasant day !

hello Jérôme Caron,
Using Windows 10 on an Asus laptop. I have problems with Firefox hanging, and with scrolling. It is bad on the New York Times web site. First nothing happens when I try to scroll down, then it scrolls too far. I have also had problems with "unresponsive scripts" and I don't know if upgrading to 10 has changed it. What can I do? Actually it is slow right now. I am typing very slowly and have to wait for the letters to appear.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox. Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available" You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Hii
Okay, did some experimenting and found a setting in about:config that makes Smooth Scrolling both smooth and fast: look in about:config for mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount. By default that has a value of 5. I changed that into 50 and now the Smooth Scrolling looks and feels like before.
Hope it would resolve your problem...
