We've all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

Not obscure but general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.enabled=true is a must have IMO.

Sounds fancy. What does that do?

You have to actually toggle to see it but IMO it massively improves how scrolling feels.

There are a few more scrolling-related options out there on the net if there's a particular "feel" you want to go for. https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js provides a couple you can try out, and most of these custom scrolling options use msdPhysics as a baseline.

That's amazing! Thanks a lot this is really useful

I just switched from Chrome today and I was wondering how to improve the scrolling (it felt heavy and slow). This setting seems to have worked wonders! Thanks!
