How do I scroll the tabs faster in Firefox 57?

Just updated to Firefox 57. Quite like it so far. But I noticed that scrolling with my mouse wheel seems significantly slower (doesn't have momentum I think?). I have a large number of tabs, hovering somewhere around 100 right now, which makes it pretty painful to get from one side to another.

Workaround for now - changing mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y seems to work - found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/73q8t0/how_to_change_the_tab_scroll_speed_in_ff_quantum/
