I see Firefox uses more like a setting of 2 rather than 5 nowadays, so
maybe we should revisit those defaults indeed. Part of the reason is
that devices have changed. With the (old) wheel-mouse I'm using
a setting of 5 works rather well, but the rare few times I've used
a touchpad with a scroll area, I've indeed found the behavior to be
difficult to use.
