I can confirm this website, too.
here is a video i've 'ploaded in youtube sawing the problem in firefox in ubuntu, then the same website in firefox in windows (virtualbox) works fine.
I think a major difference in the windows version of firefox is that in windows firefox seems to drop mousewheel events if they become too,while on the other hand firefox in linux tries to server every last one of them, thus taking for ever to complete.
I hope firefox guys will fix this SOON. It's been so many years (in fact I've noticed this annoying thing since I started using ubuntu 6.04) and the bug is still there. I just can't understand why they ignore it like it doesn't exist.
I have windows installed in virtualbox, ONLY to run Firefox decently for gods sake....
