    I've thrown away half a day trying to figure out how to get the scroll wheel to behave. No cigar. It still scrolls one line at a time in a terminal, and two pages at a time in firefox.

      Try severely reducing the value of mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y in your Firefox about:config.

        Thanks! Never realised there could be a per-program setting to fiddle with!

          Most programs don't have internal settings for this, but Firefox does things its own way--and tends to break regularly because of it. Also try reducing mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount if changing the other setting doesn't help. Try a value of 16.

        Is there a number you suggest?
        • bleepblorp 6y ago
          Firefox' scroll behavior seems to be non-deterministic on Linux, so there doesn't appear to be a universal answer. The default is 100, which seems to work fine most of the time, but for the OP's issue, reducing it by a factor of ten might be a good starting point.

  It's the acceleration curve. MacOS is slightly exponential.

    Which can be adjusted (at least in GNOME)

      It's adjustable on every Linux variant desktop that I've used. I think they just probably don't know how mouse acceleration works. Currently that is Cinnamon
