use "about:config" in the address bar, look for the settings like "mousewheel.*", and make changes there. The setting "mousewheel.withnokey.numlines" may be what you're looking for, but look at all of them and i'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Another option...

When my scroll wheel is not working smoothly (it sometimes gets jerky and less responsive) it is usually dirty, I just open it up clean the inside and put it back together and it works nice and smooth again.
