Since version 15 (I believe), the Smooth Scrolling feature in Firefox makes scrolling very slow. Before that is was way way faster. Using the scroll wheel just eases down or up a page, it's smooth but terribly slow. With Smooth Scrolling disabled it's all back to normal speed (like in Windows Explorer but also in Internet Explorer where scrolling is just normal speed). Disadvantage with disabled is that of course it's all more jerky now. All drivers are up to date. Everything where I scroll is okay, normal speed. Only Firefox is way to slow with scrolling when Smooth Scrolling is enabled.

Is there a way to alter the scrolling speed with Smooth Scrolling enabled?

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.
