Scrolling is jittery in Firfox, but not other browsers

TyDraniu replied

When I scroll up or down on the touchpad in firefox, it is like I scroll past a certain threshold, and it then sends a "scroll up" or "scroll down" command.

When I do this is Chromium, it's like I'm moving the website with my fingers. Similar to how it would be on a touch screen. In other browsers, the scrolling is not discrete, but continuous.

I love firefox, but this is driving me mad when I'm browsing. Is there any fix for this?

Is it Wayland? Try to enter about:config in the address bar and switch apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled to false. Perhaps it helps.
