Hello,

I need your help because i can't find solution to problem. On my macbooks air m1 i experience a very annoying thing: Often while i'm scrolling on websites smooth scroll animation get choppy/sluggish for few moments and lagging. It's like animation is FPS dropping during the scroll. I tried lot of things on both device:

- tried without extensions - created new profiles - use without syncing data - disabling hardware acceleration (gets worst) - disable smooth scroll in settings (get worst) - completely remove firefox with AppCleaner and reinstall it - Reinstall macOS and just install firefox alone. I tried latest Ventura and Sonoma

I don't have clue why this happening but ruin user experience very bad. With Safari everything is fine and smooth. On my wife's device (macbook air m3) have same issue.

Do you have any idea how can i fix it?

Does this happen on any website in particular?

Does it still happen with the ESR version (115)?

Hi ZeroKnigh,

Thanks for your reply! Yes, on any website could happen. And any part of it. It's random.

I didn't know ESR version of Firefox before. Is it more stalbe? Are you recommend use it instead of standard version? On my macbook air m1 (Sonoma 14.4.1) i use 124.0.2 (64bit)
