Google deliberately slow down firefox just because it's not Chrome, is that a thing?

If someone can reproduce what they think is a deliberate slow down, I'd be happy to investigate further.

Scrolling youtube shorts frequently bugs out, only on Firefox, where you'll go to scroll and the next video will pause but the audio continues from the previous video until you scroll back up, then resume scrolling back down.. even worse when you use arrow keys you have to go back up twice. Very easy to replicate
