Firefox mouse scroll 'issue'

Can't seem to find this via Google, so here goes:
Basically Firefox used to scroll up/down one exact 'page' at a time when I moved my mouse wheel. Now it moves down something akin to 1.25 pages, which means there's a substantial part of (let's say) posts that I miss as it skips right over them. For some reason this only seemed to happen when I updated Firefox to (I think) 6. Any way to fix this as it kind of defeats the purpose of scrolling with a mouse wheel if I have to manually go back to see the stuff I missed.

If you WOULD like to use that extension Skoal Cat linked, there's actually a preference you can set to allow what Firefox thinks are "incompatible" addons to function-- but you need to insert it every single time there's a version update (for example, if 7.0 goes to 7.1). Go to about:config in Firefox and right-click, then select New > Boolean. Type in "extensions.checkCompatibility.7.0" (without the quotes) and set it to "false". 7.0 is the current version number, which is what would need to be updated when Firefox updates. Basically what will happen is that if you go into your extensions menu, Firefox will tell you that you MIGHT have incompatible addons installed, but any extension that is "incompatible" with the newest version (and would normally be automatically disabled) will probably still work just fine now that Firefox lets you install them. Really all that happens with 90% of these extensions is that they haven't updated that ONE LINE in their code to say it works with the newest version, and really nothing has changed to negatively affect anyone who uses the extension. I'm betting that scrolling hasn't changed much since whenever that person last updated their addon (very very little has changed with the core of Firefox recently; they're just releasing faster lately), so this should be totally safe. Worst-case scenario, it doesn't work right and you can uninstall the addon, then set that preference back to "true".

Thanks also, Essee.

Not sure if that's a Vanilla bug.
