Scrolling to fast on opestreetmap.org skips zoom levels

more options

At some point recently the scrolling got to fast and now its skipping one zoom level when zooming in and out.

The only fix I found was to reduce to mouse setting in widows on how many lines to scroll from 3 to 2. Problem is this causes regular web page scrolling to be awfully slow. And it affects other browsers as well.

Anyone know what caused this and if its fixable?

Working perfectly in Edge and Chrome.

Thank you for pointing me to that one.

By lowering mousewheel.system_scroll_override.vertical.factor to 180 I got the zoom steps back to single again, and it didn't slow regular webpage scrolling enough to notice.

There are many mousewheel preferences in about:config. This is how one user dealt with fast scrolling. You will have to remove the blank space in the link. https://www.reddit. com/r/firefox/comments/p2az3r/ff_91_messes_with_scrolling_by_default_why/
