Have a tab group with 18 tabs. When all tabs open scrolling through them is very slow. Any thoughts.

I use the scroll wheel on my mouse. When I scroll with the wheel there is a major lag time and most of the time it scrolls past several tabs.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

I had an issue like that. I went to about:config and changed;

general.smoothScroll = false

Tried that and it worked for awhile and then went back to my original problem.

Thank you for your input.
