I'm using Mac OS and the scroll using conventional optical mouse with segmented wheel is really jumpy basically in every other browser. Out of the Firefox, Chrome and Safari only FF scrolls a page really smooth, with no micro jumping as I turn the wheel. Anyone know how to fix this in other browsers?

The other browsers are probably mostly tested with Apple's high precision mouse/trackpad devices that report scroll distance in very small steps instead of the coarse distance reporting of standard mice.
Whenever Firefox is automatically updated through my package manager, any open instances refuse to load any new pages or tabs until I restart Firefox . Needless to say, this is absolutely infuriating when I'm in the middle of something important. Does anyone know how to disable this feature?

Wouldn't it be nice if browsers or servers could reserve that space even if it's not loaded? Like "this is going to be a 500x200 image so let's load 500x200 pixels worth of empty space until it's fully loaded" and avoid jumping.
If the browser only knew...but in many cases it doesn't, especially for a fluid width, responsive website. An image may have a near infinite number of potential dimensions depending on the user's viewport.
This theme is discussed here often, but really, this is what HTML was designed for. Load https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ in a browser and scale it at will, it will always look good. The fact that people put a ton of often useless stuff and complain it looks bad in some browser doesn't mean media queries are theonly way.
I wish they made the macOS version more of a priority. There are two bugs in Bugzilla (window doesn't use CoreAnimation[1], h264/video isn't properly accelerated since quantum[2]) that together cut battery life in half compared to using Chrome or Safari. These have been in there for two years (!) and have varingly been either priority 2 or fix-optional (!!). I understand that there are limited resources but making yo…
Let the war begin!!

It's not a feature and you can't disable it, previously it'd just crash. I think it's to do with the content workers being `exec`d from disk each time instead of forking from a master.

Which OS / package manager are you using? I haven't noticed this behaviour on my Linux (Kubuntu) or macOS installs -- both Firefox Dev Edition though.

Increasing the number of processes decreases the number of tabs sharing each process. So if a process crashes it will bring down fewer tabs.
That would mean smaller impact per crash, not fewer crashes though.

The second issue, what you are probably referring to is how the page is animated between those two points. Firefox now uses something old Opera used to have, a really gradual scroll. All chromium-based browser I just tried have this rather jumpy scroll. It's different, but it is not nearly as bad as it used to be in FF.
In short, I don't know, but "smooth scrolling" is something you might want to search for.

On MacOS or Windows (maybe even Linux with the Mozilla updater, never tried it), the updater does the update on the next restart.
