Linux Mint Choppy Scrolling

I just installed Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon and of course I’m using the FireFox version that was packaged with the distro. I setup my FF account, add-ones and all that good stuff, but the scrolling is choppy. I turned on “smooth scrolling”, yet it remains choppy. I then switched both scrolling items off, scrolling remains choppy.

So I am wondering if this issue is version based, Linux based, or hardware based. I can’t image it’s hardware based as my laptop has an i5 and 8GB of RAM; plus FF on Windows 10 (dual boot) is flawless.

Any guidance is appreciated, thanks!

is it page content that is choppy or the whole window during switch between normal and full-screen mode?

The page content is choppy, even the FF settings/options pages are choppy, so it isn't specific to a "website". All programs/software, including FF, that are installed on Linux Mint open perfectly smooth.
