Has anyone else noticed that wheel scrolling is not as smooth as it was a day or two ago on Nightly? It is really distracting especially on pages with lots of graphics like news sites.

nope, cant say i have, having 1 eye now i only notice slow webpages

@ streetwolf - if you have new profile, you will be forced to use new "Chromium-like" settings
so yes, scrolling won't be smooth anymore

It's my old profile though. I had to resort to using the add-on YASS WE. Scrolling is much smoother now.

Chrome settings ? like what...

[Snake4]

my guess this is the start of the New Firefox89 becoming a full blown HTML browser. which would be why smooth scroll aint so smooth

Chrome settings ? like what...

Mozilla Firefox is now using Chromium-like settings for "smooth" scrolling.
I was talking about these ones:
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMinMS
general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.migrationPercent

So instead of pointing that users migrating from Chrome (like someone is migrate now looking on statistics ) may disable smooth scrolling in Firefox Options, so they will have scrolling like in Chrome, Mozilla just forced in on all new users, which is next "superior" change

@ V_M thanks.....

[Snake4]

soon enough there probably wont be much difference using firefox or Chrome/Chromium browsers, lets hope they dont bring in Manifest V3 to firefox after 89

The plan of record is to add some new features from Manifest V3, but not drop some of the things not in V3.
