The x.company website is unusable on Firefox. One scroll wheel movement and I am lost on a completely different part of the document. There is one way to ensure an immediate bounce.

Does anyone actually like these homepages that move around a bunch as you scroll? I don't see the appeal of parallax effects and the like. To my eye, they are neither pretty nor useful.
NoScript improves another webpage. Scrolling's working just for me, you just have to prevent the site from working as intended.
Same here. One detent of the scroll wheel and it's 2/3 of the way down the page. I tried disabling smooth scrolling, but that didn't fix it. Note that we're talking about the home page, x.company, not the page linked.
They only hire the best of the best!
Took me a bit to get to the web site, since I was lost in Medium land for a while, but there's an unlinked text-only "www.x.company" at the bottom I could copy/paste.

But yeah scroll speed is ludicrous!

Weird, its loading fine in firefox for desktop and mobile for me.
Do you mean the blog? That works for me as well, but scrolling on https://x.company is broken.
Just block JavaScript on all Medium blogs. Simple click with Ublock Origin. Much better experience.
the x.company landing page is the one they mean, its full of scroll-captures that freak out on firefox. It scrolls smoothly in Safari.
hahaha, try using the up/down arrow keys, they do nothing!
