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.
I can attest that this also helped me as well. Thank you!
Holy cow I will test this later. My touchpad even on a regular DPI display goes crazy sometimes.
Just don’t use Wayland. Problem fixed!
Smooth touchpad scrolling on Firefox is a Wayland exclusive feature. I force Wayland for Firefox only for this feature.
how do we force wayland for particular apps when logged into an x11 session?
Run a nested Wayland compositor inside Xorg session
