When making a scroll the scroll bar is moving to less lines spaces that can
viewed with one single scroll. With IE you get an acceptable scroll but with
Firefox you must make double the scroll you do with IE to browse one webpage.
You can just argue that I can increase the number of lines that are scrolled at
one time from my mouse configuration panel from Control Panel, at Mouse
Propertie, Wheel> The number of line scrolled at one time from 3 to 6, I just
did that and it scrolls perfectly but this afects the scoll in other programs
like Explorer, etc. so it works fine in Firefox but wrong in other program.
The right solution it would be to make Firefox to sroll more lines at a time,
double that is now, exactly like IE scroll.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one webpage
2. Make a scroll 
3. Open the same webpage with IE make a scroll and see the diference

Actual Results:  
You need to use very often the scroll bars because the mouse scroll works to slow


Expected Results:  
Mouse scroll should be much faster than it is now

It should contain more scroll speds in Option menus so we can select one that
fit's best.

Er, so you're saying IE somehow doubles the Window setting and we should too? 
That seems more like a bug in IE than in Firefox.  What's the point of having a
system setting if apps will arbitrarily multiply it?
Summary: Scroll too slow → Scroll wheel should scroll more lines at a time
The problem is'nt in IE but in Firefox.
The mouse scroll in Firefox is fu**ing slow you actualy need to make a loot of
scroll to obtain the same smoth scroll that you get in IE.
