This site is choppy in firefox when scrolling with the mouse wheel due to the use of fixed image backgrounds... see this website.

I would be easy to fix this to make this forum more smooth to use with the browser.

Interesting... I've never had smooth scrolling enabled so I've never seen the issue. Just checked and confirmed it then.

A work around is listed on the same site, I don't know what timeline might be involved in changing this.

This is due to a bug in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201307), not a compatibility issue with the configuration at INTJf. As HackerX points out, the suggested workaround if you experience this problem with your browser is to disable smooth scrolling in Firefox preferences.
