Quantum extremely fast scroll speed
Firefox 60.02, Windows 10 Pro
I found this post.
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/73q8t0/how_to_change_the_tab_scroll_speed_in_ff_quantum/
But my experience is just the opposite.
I felt that the only tolerable way to work with Quantum was to widen the minimum width of tabs.
My personal preference was: about:config, browser.tabs.tabMinWidth, change to 200
I mention this because the scroll speed is far to fast (one mouse wheel click moves a tab 4 positions), and if there is a fix, I thought it would be help full mention my tab width setting adjustment.
There about:config setting for scroll speed (mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y) is "100" by default.
The problem is that this setting affects all manners of mouse scrolling. My ideal tab scroll setting would be "25", but that literally slows horizontal page scrolling to a crawl.
Maybe someone could explain to me what
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount
is for, and how it relates to
mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y
Are there any addons that could help?

See the toolkit.scrollbox.* prefs.
I ran across
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount
It seems to do the trick, but thanks for that toolkit.scrollbox.* prefs. tip. I will definitely check it out.

That sounds more like a Driver issue more then a Browser issue. My mouse driver allows up to 3 scroll for every scroll of the mouse button. The Browser only does what the driver does.
Hi, what you used to change was only meant to be as a temp work around.
Code was again changed in version 60. No idea from 57 on-wards.
You could see what options your mouse has for you. If it is a MS mouse they have a new website for keyboard and mice drivers.
Thanks for the suggestions.
My mistake. The tab moves 3 positions, not 4.
That is the case no matter the width of the tab, but the effect is magnified as the tab becomes wider.
For example, with "browser.tabs.tabMinWidth" set to 200, one wheel click moves the leftmost tab to the middle of the page.
I went back to my ESR setup to compare. Tab Mix Plus dealt with the issue. TMP has a tab width adjustment setting, and I believe the tab scroll speed is somehow proportionally compensated for when tab width changes are made. No page scroll change, but tab scroll down to i position per mouse wheel click. With TMP disabled, tab scroll was the same as quantum.
So unless I can discover how Tab Mix Plus dealt with it, I guess have to live with what I have.
