Firefox now has native smooth-scrolling API [1]

We could look to make a simple JS polyfill, which falls back to the current jQuery animation when the native API is not yet supported. A good usage example would be on the /firefox/os/devices/ page [2], where clicking either "Phones" or "Televisions" scrolls down the page.

I'm using the new API in my BzDeck app and it's pretty nice.
