I’ve never really used smooth scrolling before because it just seems like excess animation to me. I’m guessing that it’s not enabled by default because enough people must not want it enabled.

Mozilla releases Firefox 3 Beta 4. The Robots are getting faster!…

A couple of days ago (2008-03-10), Mozilla officially released Firefox 3 Beta 4. Once again the latest Beta release has managed to improve over its predecessor. Beta 4 remains very! stable, further tweaks under the hood and more memory leaks…

Smooth scrolling is still slow and definitely not *smooth*. Yes, there are extensions that are better than the built-in smooth scrolling, but I think the integrated smooth scrolling feature is an embarrassment. Mozilla-based browsers are the only ones without decent smooth scrolling — compare with Opera and IE and the difference is striking.

Also why isn’t it turned on by default?

I’ve been using Firefox 3 since before the first alpha hit, and although there were some rough times it has been a rather enjoyable ride. The performance improvements are pretty significant over the previous versions.

Well guess what there is no going back now.
I can’t really use any other browser now that I have been using Firefox 3.0 since the Alpha before Beta 1 (which I think it was Alpha 3 if I am not mistaken).

Ah, sweet irony.
