Has Medium stopped working on Firefox for anybody else? Once the page is finished loading, it stops responding to scroll events.
- tomrod 1y agoI avoid medium where possible. If I could pipe text content to my terminal with confidence, I would.
- lukax 1y agoMaybe you have an ad-blocker that just hides the popup but does not restore scrolling (scrolling is usually prevented when popups are visible)
- osigurdson 1y agoFirefox has a lot of weird little pop up ads these days. It seems like this is a very recent phenominon. Is this actually Firefox doing this or some kind of plug-in accidentally installed?
- duttish 1y agoHm, I haven't seen that. Perhaps it's worth reviewing your plugins
- osigurdson 1y agoThanks! I think it might have been notifications from futurism.com. I don't remember visiting that site or allowing notifications (on purpose anyway).
- micw 1y agoSame here. Meanwhile I close a link/page as soon as I realize it's on medium.
- speed_spread 1y agoHave you tried using reader mode?
- stevekemp 1y agoNo idea, if I see a medium link I just ignore it. Substack is heading the same way for me too, it seems to be self-promotion, shallow-takes, and spam more than anything real.
- secondcoming 1y agoSeems ok for me on Firefox 143.0.1
- overhead4075 1y agoThe page loads a "subscribe to author" modal pretty quickly after the page loads. You may have partially blocked it, so you won't see the modal but it still prevents scroll.
- boldlybold 1y agoSame. Hit escape shortly after the page loads to stop loading whatever modal is likely blocking scroll. I don't see the modal so it's likely blocked by ublock, but still stops scroll.
