Hi! Since updating Firefox to 98.0 I've been experiencing sudden performance drops(lags/freezes/stutters) while scrolling. `about:support` page shows that compositing is `WebRender`. The issue occurs with fresh profile without any addons installed and also in `firefox-nightly`(100.0a1). However, scrolling is totally smooth in 97.0.2 and earlier versions of Firefox.
What changes in Firefox 98 could cause this, and are there any settings in `about:config` I can try to tune to solve the issue? These are the settings I've always used, and, as I mentioned, scrolling was smooth before 98.0:
gfx.webrender.all = true
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS = 400
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMinMS = 200
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount = 40
mousewheel.system_scroll_override.enabled = false
