Firefox 40 Smooth scrolling issue

Since I have upgraded to Firefox 40 for PC, I have noticed that smooth scrolling isn't smooth at all. The page scrolls but the text is jerky as I scroll down. By "jerky" I mean that it looks like it is refreshing and redrawing on the page rather than scrolling.

Unchecking options -> advanced -> general -> use smooth scrolling eliminates the jerkiness, but now the scrolling isn't smooth and now akin to a "page down" button press.

Smooth scrolling was working fine in FF 39.

I have a eVGA (NVIDIA) GeForce 960 GTX graphics card running v353.62

Any ideas? I am NOT having this problem in Edge or Chrome 44, so I'm assuming it's Firefox 40 related...

hi, this is probably due to the current nvidia gforce driver being blacklisted for using hardware acceleration, due to an explosion in firefox crashes it was causing in windows 10 until this issue is fixed...
