I would like to know where in the settings page I can go to adjust the amount of lines that scroll up or down at a time?

You can't set this via Settings. For using the keyboard to scroll, that would be about these prefs on the about:config page.

  • toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance
  • toolkit.scrollbox.horizontalScrollDistance

For the mouse wheel scroll distance, you can go to about:config in the address bar and change mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount or mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y.

The delta_multiplier prefs are internally floats of type double and are converted to an integer for storing in a pref by multiplying them with 100 and are acting as percentages of the default scroll amount (i.e. 100 -> 1).
