Has Medium stopped working on Firefox for anybody else? Once the page is finished loading, it stops responding to scroll events.

No 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.

The 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.

Same here. Meanwhile I close a link/page as soon as I realize it's on medium.

Maybe you have an ad-blocker that just hides the popup but does not restore scrolling (scrolling is usually prevented when popups are visible)

Firefox 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]

Hm, I haven't seen that. Perhaps it's worth reviewing your plugins

[osigurdson]

Thanks! I think it might have been notifications from futurism.com. I don't remember visiting that site or allowing notifications (on purpose anyway).

I avoid medium where possible.

If I could pipe text content to my terminal with confidence, I would.

Same. 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.

Seems ok for me on Firefox 143.0.1

Have you tried using reader mode?
