Hi, sad to know you have a bad experience with Firefox. Can you please confirm us your smooth scrolling option is checked? Thanks, Sébastien

Yes smooth scrolling is checked. I started Firefox in safe mode and still have the same problem. Seems that Facebook is the only place I have this lagging scrolling issue.
