When I try to scroll down it takes a much longer time to get a reaction now- anyway to fix this?

When I click on the scroll down bar or try to use my mouse to scroll, it often takes a second or two before anything happens. I think this started after I updated to the 60 edition of Firefox. Before that I think there was no problem. This happens on any website I'm on. I have a PC with Windows 8.

hello atung45,

You could try changing one (or both) of these hidden settings:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste wheel and pause while the list is filtered

(3A) Double-click the mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y preference and type in a higher value to make each movement of the wheel cover more ground. For example, you could try 300 or 500. You can keep this tab open and experiment with scrolling in a different tab until you find a value that gives you the speed you're looking for.

(3B) Double-click the mousewheel.system_scroll_override_on_root_content.vertical.factor preference and type in a higher value. For example, try changing 200 to 500. You can keep this tab open and experiment with scrolling in a different tab until you find a value that gives you the speed you're looking for.
