I can confirm that Firefox 8, on Ubuntu 10.04 still has this bug.
The problem is so common for me that I just always expect it -- I do not think it matters at all what web page one is looking at.
I have chrome browser, side by side with this web page (this bug report page). Chrome scrolls smooth as silk and is extremely responsive. Firefox is jittery with much lag.
