The Firefox help says:
Use smooth scrolling
Smooth scrolling can be very useful if you read a lot of long pages. Normally, when you press Page Down, the view jumps directly down one page. With smooth scrolling, it slides down smoothly, so you can see how much it scrolls. This makes it easier to resume reading from where you were before.
Smooth scrolling seems to work reasonably well when using Page Up/Page Down; the problem is with mouse-wheel scrolling.
With that in mind, maybe we should have an extra checkbox in the UI to disable smooth mouse scrolling even when smooth scrolling is in effect.
Alternatively, could Firefox time the display updates, and abandon smooth (mouse-)scrolling when updates are too slow?
