In my opinion, swiping down to scroll down is too slow. It should behave like other Android apps. Most notably Chrome. But it doesn't. Every time I try to go down the page fast, I'm annoyed by how slow the page actually goes down. It feels like firefox has implemented its own method of swiping. How can I speed it up or, even better, make it behave natively? Note: I have a very fast mobile phone so that's not the problem.

Hi

I know what you mean by looking at the opposite of this issue for someone that had an eyesight impediment that needed a hand slowing the scroll speed down.

This article was the result. I recommend you follow the same process, but instead of changing the two references to +1500, change them to -1500 and see if that makes a difference.

I hope that this helps, but if not, please come back here and I will progress with one of the developers for you.
