Got "Infinity" after testing my Firefox Dev Edition 123b9. Is this because of my FF config because my browser is perhaps blocking something (e.g. canvas, fingerprint, etc) or any result north of 140 is considered infinity?

I vaguely remember there's a privacy protection that rounds timer information. eg. all timers get rounded to the nearest 100ms. If you have a bunch of tests that take less than 100ms to complete, those tests might seemingly complete at the same time they start, which causes them to have infinite score.

Do you see anything (errors or something else) in the web console?
Please file a bug there if necessary => https://github.com/WebKit/Speedometer/issues/new :-)
I also got Infinity, on Firefox 123.0.1, with a bunch of privacy extensions.

There is only one warning in the Console: Ignoring ‘preventDefault()’ call on event of type ‘wheel’ from a listener registered as ‘passive’. react-dom.production.min.js:29:112
