How can I fix scrolling which is erratic at best with the latest upgrade??
Scrolling in the latest update (version 57) is very erratic. When the mouse wheel is moved, sometimes the window scrolls and sometimes there is a significant delay before the scroll begins. it is very frustrating . Also, typing has the same type of erratic behavior. I restored the previous version and in spite of changing updates to not be automatic Firefox still updated. I'm very unhappy with this latest update; does anyone have any suggestions?

hi, thanks for reporting this. can you try if this change can workaround the performance problem?: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.

Thanks Philipp, This seems to solve the problem. A few more days and I'll be sure. I just wish I understood that setting. I'll mark this as solved.
the article at What is the Accessibility Service Indicator? contains some background - basically third-party programs can hook into firefox (& apparently also cause bad performance) that way. from other affected users we have heard that realplayer is one of the programs causing the issue.
