We should monitor these issues to see if it would be possible to re-enable XI2 in the future.

Fedora already compiles FF with "MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1", which is very smooth on my tablet. However, it would be interesting how this is handled by Firefox for Android, which clearly needs touch support and XINPUT2.

Also Fedora enables XInput2 by default and we don't have any user complains.

I wonder how big complication is it and if benefits from enabled xinput2 outweigh it, especially when the focus bugs should be fixed on recent systems.

This is inappropriate behavior for touchpad scrolling; it should scroll pixel-by-pixel. Firefox already has the ability to do this, you just need to turn it on by running the program with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 in the environment: for example, by running `MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox`, or adding it to /etc/environment or something like that. Turning on this behavior yields a large usability improvement for laptop users. Therefore, I am proposing that MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 be permanently added to the packaging such that it's always present when Firefox runs. This is what Fedora does, and it results in a much improved experience for the laptop user.
