Thanks. Can you please try firefox-x11 if you can reproduce it?

I installed firefox-x11, and was able to reproduce / confirm the issue. I recorded two short videos showing the difference.
Thanks. I think we're still missing the smooth scrolling feature in Firefox on Linux. I'm not sure how https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213601 is related here, can you try latest nightly from mozilla? [1] [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firefox
Sorry for the late update. Using the latest nightly does fix the scrolling issue. I've attached a video. I'm guessing this bug is closed then? All is left for the fix to trickle into stable?
