1140706 - tabs (and page) smooth scrolling animation duration is hard coded

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Waterfox/36.0
Build ID: 20150228040126

Steps to reproduce:

In my opinion, tabs smooth scrolling is a nice feature, but I find the animation duration of about one second to be far too long.

I tried to find a setting in about:config to solve this problem but apparently, the setting I'm looking for does not exist.


Actual results:

Tabs smooth scrolling animation take too much time. I can disable it entirely (though is causes another bug, see #1140702 ) but I'd rather set it to a shorter duration, and it appears this is not possible.


Expected results:

Tabs smooth scrolling animation duration should not be hardcoded, and a user setting should exist to configure it.

As of 72.0.1, there appears to be such a setting.

I set all of the following to a value of 1 and the smooth scrolling goes away:

general.smoothScroll.durationToIntervalRatio
general.smoothScroll.lines.durationMaxMS
general.smoothScroll.lines.durationMinMS
