Can anyone with firefox 44.0.2 (default with ubuntu 14.04) help verify a potential bug:

I get broken mouse wheel scrolling behavior on web2py with the default ubuntu 14.04 firefox v44.0.2.
The mouse wheel scrolling requires many full wheel rotations to clear a single line of text.
Those with ubuntu 14.04 would most easily confirm this problem with their firefox by visiting
the web2py documentation page here and try to scroll down with mouse wheel:

   http://web2py.com/init/default/documentation

This problem does not seem to appear with older firefox 38, and does not occur with Chrome.
I'm not clear if this is a real firefox bug or something that could be avoided in web2py javascript. 
In any case its unfortunate problem that may affect many ubuntu users mainly, and I would feel
better if we could avoid this issue.

I think it's a problem with the new stupid.css - same problem in Firefox on Windows.

Thank u for confirming the issue. I should be able to identify the culprit u using browser debugger. Will post back if I find the css or js line.

By this morningin, it looks okay on W10 with FF 45.0.1, and on an older Fedora with FF 45.0.1.

And the video links are handy!

Yes, the pages are now scrolling fine.
Probably Pierro fixed it here:   https://github.com/web2py/web2py/commit/197b01853444b4b279764f5048de128be730d557
Thanks!
Strange that incorrect args to Font-weight would affect scrolling in Firefox.
