Steps to reproduce:

general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMinMS

was change from 200 to 50 with Firefox 82. I assume this was an error, as the default scrolling now is comically jerky. Fix for me was reverting to previous value with MinMS and MaxMS

It was not an error, people have been asking for this change for a long time (bug 1418822) to make the scrolling feel more like in Chrome and Edge.

Unfortunately, this is a case where we can't make everyone happy simultaneously: some people prefer the old behaviour and some the new. If you prefer the old behaviour, you can change the pref to the old value.

I'm going to dupe this over to bug 1680077, which tracks a possible revert of the default settings (no decisions has been made yet on that revert).
