Open about:config and search for 'wheel'. There are ~50 options for tweaking scrolling, including one to disable smooth scroll and ones to tweak the scroll distance.

There's two ways:

1. At least in FF 60, go to the menu button, then "Preferences". Scroll down to the "Browsing" section and uncheck "Use smooth scrolling".

2. Go to the "about:config" URL. Search for "general.smoothScroll". Double click the row to toggle the value to "false".

Thanks everyone! Setting `general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel` to false and increasing `mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount` x 4 did the trick. I'll be switching to Firefox for now.

Right there in Preferences > Browsing

Preferences > Advanced > Uncheck Use Smooth scrolling works for me on Linux. Do you have this option.

It's in preferences, under Browsing.
