Enable the smooth scrolling feature in firefox 3.0 just like safari

 

Firefox 3.0 has been just released and ready for download, I am on twitter side by side telling people the alternate download server for firefox 3.0 as both mozilla and spreadfirefox.com are down due to heavy hits for firefox 3.0 download.

While people are trying to download, I am the lucky one who is writing a post on one of the cool feature of firefox 3.0, I have been waiting to be implemented in firefox for a long time.

Lets come to the point, the feature is related to smooth scrolling which can be enabled to enjoy the smooth scrolling effect just like Internet explorer and safari.

What is smooth scrolling ?

Smooth scrolling refers to a scrolling display where text appears smoothly, rather than appearing as a whole line at a time.

    I hate the smooth scroll and I wish I knew how to disable the apparent automatic ss in the tab bar.
