WOW this explains so much about why my experience with Firefox has felt like garbage.

Why are the defaults set this way???

Are you scrolling with a touchpad? Most of those settings don't impact touchpad scrolling. Is there a particular setting which makes the difference?

Did you try them? Several of the settings labeled "mousewheel" also affect touchpads. I don't have a touchpad on hand to check but I remember general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS making a difference as well.

I assume these are the default values that were selected a while ago, and it would be considered breakage to change them now?
