You will need to edit your prefs.js file in your mozilla profile.
For me the file is located at ~/.mozilla/Default User/edf44w6r.slt/prefs.js, other user's directories will be different.
Make sure that mozilla is not running when you add the following line to prefs.js:
user_pref("general.smoothScroll", false);
It looks like this option was included in Fedora's official mozilla-1.7.6 package.
