It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

What's wrong with that page? I'm not seeing anything in particular.
Same
Scrolling was a little jittery on both ff and Chrome for me, but the page has a lot of content on it, so I wouldn't expect it run silky smooth on everything.
I think because of the JS framework it's using is causing performance issues. Ironic because the website claims 98/100 performance score - the highest of all those that they tested. It works perfectly smoothly on Chrome for me. A simple page like that should not lag/hitch at all.
Massive lag on scrolling. Are you not seeing this? I'll record the screen in a minute.
It was a tiny bit jittery on the first scroll through the page but not very noticeable and it happened in both browsers anyway. That's about it. I'm on an Xperia 10 III.
video is uploaded here
sorry I wasn't sure where to upload the video running a pixel 7 pro it's hard to come across on video but it is there. hitching/jittery/lag on ff, perfectly smooth on chrome
i'm surprised by the comments, everyone has been having mixed results
It's completely fine for me on FF mobile.
Very strange! Everyone who has replied has had a different experience on this website. It's probably an issue with the website, not Firefox per se. It simply manifests on Firefox for me personally.
Video link doesn't work - have you tried testing with extensions disabled?
try this link instead and let me know if it works
and yes. while not in the video, I did download the beta ff version to have a seperate/clean environment to test in and the same behaviour is replicated
I wonder if they aren't using the "stop and look at image" - trick with css/js. So when you scroll you're supposed to center on the next image. Also stops the scrolling to center
Could be but I don't think so in this case. It seems (based on no evidence - purely feel) that there's some kind of event listener being triggered every time the page scrolls (whether this be touch/scroll event, visible contents, etc idk) and this event listener has different optimisation or performance characteristics depending on the device and rendering engine.
