Been tinkering with alot of parameters in about:config, but I finally a viable solution:
We all know that changing mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_Any particular Axis values changes the minimum number of lines being scrolled
But what this does not change is the sensitivity of the smallest “fling” gesture when scrolling with a touchpad.
Here’s the values you want to alter when trying make the scrolling feel more “tighter” or more “Windows like” or to fix the issue described above:
set apz.fling_friction 0.002 --> 0.005
apz.fling_min_velocity_threshold 0.5 --> 1.5
the above will make the smooth scrolling with touchpad actually feel smooth and in control. As opposed to simply changing the delta multiplier values.
Holy removed, this actually did make a huge difference for me. I normally follow this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7ei43x/comment/dq5afi0/, and it does really good for me. Then I’d also change mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y to between 25 and 40 and I’m set. These two you posted made it even better. Thank you for this. Gonna save this post for future reference
yeah, the scrolling behaviour on Linux was driving me nuts. Touchpad on Linux isn’t in a very good shape already. Yesterday, I decided that enough was enough lol. And I sat down to hunt the values myself
