Been tinkering with alot of parameters in about:config, but I finally a viable solution:

We all know that changing mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_Any particular Axis values changes the minimum number of lines being scrolled

But what this does not change is the sensitivity of the smallest “fling” gesture when scrolling with a touchpad.

Here’s the values you want to alter when trying make the scrolling feel more “tighter” or more “Windows like” or to fix the issue described above:

set apz.fling_friction 0.002 --> 0.005

apz.fling_min_velocity_threshold 0.5 --> 1.5

the above will make the smooth scrolling with touchpad actually feel smooth and in control. As opposed to simply changing the delta multiplier values.

      yeah, the scrolling behaviour on Linux was driving me nuts. Touchpad on Linux isn’t in a very good shape already. Yesterday, I decided that enough was enough lol. And I sat down to hunt the values myself

    I actually like Linux defaults as they are but don’t like Windows defaults, on Windows it feels too slow to me. I have 17.3 inch 1080p display.
