I use Chromium on linux because Firefox doesn't have touch-screen support and smooth-scrolling feels a little rough. I wont hesitate to switch over if these changes are made though.

I've had great success getting touchscreen scrolling to work with https://superuser.com/a/1155441 (Surface Pro 3 running KDE Plasma)

Add 'export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1' to ~/.xsessionrc and disable “Use smooth scrolling” to get the real smooth scrolling.

+100 This is the first setting I change on a new Linux laptop install.

You can also disable smooth scrolling only for the touchpad in about:config to keep the animation for scrolling with the keyboard. Search for "smooth"; I think it's the mouseWheel one, but I'm not at home to verify.

I find the touchscreen support to be pretty good with Fedora's patches running on Wayland. I think these patches are slated for upstreaming, so get excited!

Disclaimer: I contribute to Firefox and enjoy it quite a bit.

>Firefox doesn't have touch-screen support

On Ubuntu and Kali (both debian-based), it most certainly does.
