I have updated to the latest release, smooth scrolling has turned itself on and the option to disable it is missing. general.smoothScroll is also set to false.

and the option to disable it is missing

The option was removed so users don't get confused that it doesn't work. Smooth scroll is enforced (i.e prefs and the removed UI ignored) for fingerprinting purposes

I see.

I wasn't aware that websites could detect smooth scrolling. I guess I'll have to suck it up and get used to it unless Tor implements a way to disable it while appearing as though it's still enabled.

here's a evil little test I built - you don't even need to see anything scrolling
