Its slower on my Nexus 6P than Chrome, although it doesn't have to Deal with the ads. I often scroll on long pages only to end up in some still to be rendered viewports. Doesnt happen with Chrome.
Ok. I also had this "scrolling being faster than rendering" half a year ago or so, but switched to the Nightly version than which had the APZ feature (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/02/smoother-scrolling-in-fire...) integrated already on Android by then. And where this all worked pretty smooth. I thought this was already rolled out for stable, too...
