What GPU are you using? There are various ways to fix this, depending on GPU/driver. I'd suggest looking in the Arch Wiki, even if you are using Ubuntu.

Nvidia gtx 1050, official drivers. Steam games are fine, and everything else seems to be fine, but Firefox scrolling looks like something from the Win95 era.

Try this:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
