FireFox by default has a dreadful touchscreen user experience in Ubuntu 20.04 and this really ruins the out of box experience. FireFox iis also dreadful in Mint 20 and DeepIn 20 and several other Linux Distributions. By default it works well out of the box with Fedora 32. It appears the main issue is that it is configured by default to use dreadful touchscreen settings. Enabling the xinput2 setting in your user profile will resolve the issue.

Open up a terminal and type in the following command:
echo export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/use-xinput2.sh

Then log in and out to apply the changes.
