This seems ok for me on a Pixel 2. What device are you seeing the problem on? How bad is it?

@jboek: Is this with webrender enabled or disabled? I can see some delays without webrender, but webrender on seems fine. Can you add an about:support?

@ktaeleman:

According to the reporter they're using a xiaomi mi note 3. So I would assume without webrender.

@jnicol: I captured a profile on Pixel 2 XL, but that feels quite smooth. Can you check the Moto G7?

Profiles on Moto G7 Play (Adreno 506)

• scrolling: https://share.firefox.dev/3dIQVGF
• zooming: https://share.firefox.dev/3dIQVGF

Scrolling seems fine but zooming is a disaster. Time seems to be spread between glClear dequeuing a buffer (which might be waiting on the GPU), VAO uploads, and texture uploads.
