Ubuntu – Mozilla Firefox doesn’t scroll smoothly on Ubuntu

firefoxmozilla

I have problem with Firefox on Ubuntu. When I scroll on facebook or youtube it doesn't scroll smoothly like it used to on Windows. It's hard to explain but main point is when I scroll down/up it doesnt go smoothly and it's obvious.

Firefox 46 brought GTK3 integration and true "pixel-perfect" scrolling for touchpads.

To enable it, you must set the MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 environment variable. There are a number of ways to do this, one of them would be to add it to /etc/environment and then reboot the machine:

echo MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/environment
