All browsers have trouble with this, because instead of scrolling and
repainting a small portion of the window, any scroll means a complete
repaint. The Microsoft browser used to have troubles with it, but recently
(IE 5.5 or so) has been made good. I think this attribute should never be
used, personally, in the face of all the browsers it gives headaches too.

You may want to submit a bug against Mozilla for the heck of it. :)
