Firefox's default scrolling behaviour didn't feel as responsive as Chrome. I changed a few settings below in about:config and now Firefox is a pleasure to use again. With the uBlock Origin, Cookie Autodelete and ClearURLs add-ons, it's better for privacy too.
general.smoothScroll: false
mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y: 300
- luckylion 6y agoI really wish someone at Mozilla would take the time to document the settings related to scrolling or make a GUI to simulate the behavior you're setting up. Getting it to work "close enough" to how well it works on chrome took a bit of time and was basically looking through forums where people mentioned what had worked for them. It's not the most central thing a browser has to do, but every user does it so often and it's a constant annoyance when it doesn't work the way you like/expect it to.
- lurtbancaster 6y agoFor almost 6 years, I've been using general.smoothScroll: false mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 60 I'd never given mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y a try. But now with both mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 60 and your mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y: 300 it's a little too much for me. But ymmv. mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y and mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount seem identical in function.
