Why is Firefox scrolling so sluggish?

It's really annoying that the only smooth scrolling browser on the SP3 is IE. Firefox feels like it's running on a PC from the early 90s when I scroll.

Basically because Firefox sucks? It used to be a great browser 6 or so years ago. But ever since they moved on from 3.6 it became worse and worse.
I'm fine with IE, tbh. But if you're reluctant to use IE, you might wanna try Chrome. Definitely better than FF.

I might give it a shot. Firefox scrolls fine on my desktop and other PCs, it's just this that it sucks.

I thought Chrome was worse with lack of hi DPI and touch support?
I could be out of date though.

But FF on my tablet was serviceable, scroll was OK, albeit not as physics-y its the zoom that isn't great at all.

If you're using Chrome for desktop, you're better off using a mouse/keyboard, as touch recognition is still crap. IE for the win.

Chrome is bad for battery life too.
