I know that it's common to have namespace collisions, but their logo is so similar to Reason magazine's. https://reason.com/

Similar to the point that I'm sure it is a subconscious plagiarism. In other words, the person who created the logo had seen Reason magazine's and unintentionally channeled it when creating the new one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I was curious why it doesn't scroll. Barely works but gives a CPU spike and just jumps around between pages...

Chrome and Safari both worked for me. Common reports about Firefox, so I disabled the gif. Can you let me know if it works now?

it loads but the scrolling is at like 2 fps. thank god for reader view. ff46

Website fries the CPU (FF).

Sounds like FF can't handle gifs, but Chrome/Safari do a good job. I've disabled the gif on the main page just to be friendly to FF while I figure out a better approach. Thanks for the report.

I can run the Unreal engine, use google maps but not view your website. I'm not convinced Firefox is at fault here.

Is there any interactive functionality that your website offers that would justify extraordinary demands or does it simply display some text and images?

There's also a DAW called Reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_%28software%29

... and the Neal Stephenson fan in me was just a smidgen disappointed that this was not the introduction of a hypervelocity flechette gatling railgun.

This page is completely unusable due to lag. From the other comments it seems this is FF specific. One would think FB would have the resources to test new pages at least on common browsers before publishing. Edit: The fix came quickly though.

Thanks, we're looking into how to fix the perf in FF. Meanwhile, it works on my tiny mobile cell phone.

While not cool, that's a pleasant surprise to see something made-first for FF! Glad to see people still fighting against browser mono-culture. Disclaimer: This post was written in Chrome.

The bug is only in FF, not the page only works in FF.
