Site doesn't load in Firefox. Works in Chrome.

Incredible, but you are correct. Pegs 1 CPU in FF and while it loads, it barely scrolls.
Pretty sure it was the gif. I've disabled it. Could you try again?
It's still hanging firefox for me. You can install firefox and try it yourself: https://getfirefox.com
Looks like something related to repaints caused by a jquery scroll event http://i.imgur.com/mFL9ZYN.jpg
It's not the gifs it's the scroll event listener causing a redraw every time.
Could you possibly submit the gif in a bug to Mozilla? They’d want to fix that…
1 CPU still pegged on firefox.

But otherwise, Reason looks very cool. A nice mashup of technologies to create something that certainly looks more useful than the status quo. I hope this takes off, but I think the biggest challenge nowadays, even for good technology, is finding an audience amidst a plethora of choices. Technology, as always, is a popularity contest.

Just tried, it's still not working well.

edit: Fixed now.

Thanks for the (many) reports! It's been fixed for a while. No excuse for poor performance!
Nope. Site still completely saturates a core, but only during scroll, not during idle.
No problem here on FF 48.0a2
Having the same issue, it loads very weirdly.
I was able to load it on Firefox 46.0.1 but it pegged a core completely.
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?
Why does a text document describing a programming environment need to hijack scrolling at all?
it loads but the scrolling is at like 2 fps. thank god for reader view. ff46
Completely unuseable for me as well.
Same thing happened for the react native unveiling, Facebook dev don't seem to care about Firefox.
Here too, completley killed Firefox (FF46 on Win10) with an unresponsive browser window.
Works fine here (FF46 on Ubuntu without any special add-ons).
It loads for me but it's so slow it's unusable.
