smooth scrolling is not working as it should work?
Smooth scrolling is not working as it should, it's very clumsy and irregular with track pad while it is little bit good with mouse.
i am using Asus with Intel HD 3000 and Nvidia GEforce.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

Wot cor-el
In your list of extensions, I see:
Name: Yet Another Smooth Scrolling Version: 3.1.7 Enabled: false ID: yetanothersmoothscrolling@kataho
You have this extension disabled, did you realize that? If you want to re-enable it, go to the Firefox Add-ons Extensions list. If you turned it off because you had problems with it, you'll have to contact the developer. The extension page at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yet-another-smooth-scrolling/
Your Firefox "smooth scrolling" setting is located in the Options window - Advanced panel under the General Tab. This preference is already turned on , by default.
Here is what the Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox article says about smooth scrolling:
Use smooth scrolling: Smooth scrolling can be very useful if you read a lot of long pages. Normally, when you press Page Down, the view jumps directly down one page. With smooth scrolling, it slides down smoothly, so you can see how much it scrolls. This makes it easier to resume reading from where you were before.
smooth scrolling extension was solution someone told here to solve problem so installed but it didn't work out properly. so i disable it.
and i think setting is default as usual of my FF.
I earlier version of FF it was working fine but in this version it's not working. and i saw different post a lot of people have same problem like me.
It might help if you could describer the scrolling problem better and include links to webpages, if possible, where you see the problem the worst. I found these bugs you can look through, to see if any are similar to your issue.
Bug 802478 - Smooth scrolling causes plugins to bounce while scrolling
Bug 850562 - Regression in smooth scrolling between Firefox 19 and 20 (This bug causes a 'rippling' effect to the text, also described as a 'tearing' effect where the top and bottom parts of the page seem to be out of sync)
I also found Bug 878189 - HWA & Smooth Scrolling causes page flickers while scrolling (Note: Disabling hardware acceleration stops the flicker in this bug; so does turning OFF smooth scrolling)
Try to increase the value of the general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS pref on the about:config page a higher value like 1000 to see if that makes a difference with smooth scrolling enabled.
