Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to settings
  2. No such option in ui

Actual results:

No option in settings ui to enable general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.enabled

Expected results:

There should be an option in settings ui to enable general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.enabled

Component: Untriaged → Settings UI

@botond it looks like this pref has been nightly only for a while. Is this something we'd want to expose in Settings? Seems like a replacement for the smooth scrolling functionality not so much an option?

Our current plans in this area are summarized in bug 1920237 (and FFXP-3025), which we have scheduled for work in H2 (and hopefully early in H2).

Our hope is that at the conclusion of this work, the same scrolling physics will be shipping by default on both the Nightly and Release channels. (It will feel closer to the current msdPhysics.enabled=true than msdPhysics.enabled=false, though as outlined in bug 1920237 it be achieved using a simplified implementation approach with no actual Mass-Spring-Damper model involved.) We are not planning to propose any new options exposed in the UI at this time.

Thanks! Sounds like we won't need this bug then
