Why does Firefox struggle to render React animations while Chromium renders them without breaking a sweat?
If you go to this page and scroll down, a stress test of React animations takes place (there's just a lot of animations):
https://www.react-reveal.com/examples/common/flip/
When I scroll down in Chrome, it doesn't break a sweat. But in Firefox, I barely see the animations chop into view. I have the same browser extensions in both my Chrome and Firefox. Could there be other settings causing this difference in performance?
EDIT: Versioning
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04
- Browser:
- Firefox 64.0
- Chromium 71.0.3578.80

I couldn't reproduce this behavior. Are both browsers "clean" (I mean, no extensions, no cache, etc)? What are the versions of each browser?

Great question. Both browsers have the same extensions. But even after disabling all plugins in Firefox, it still lags for me. I've updated the original post with software versions.
