Adam is this a webcompat issue?

Looks like it, I can reproduce the issue in Firefox Android 61 and in RDM with a mobile UA set. But doesn't reproduce in Chrome mobile.

The HTML element has `overflow: -moz-scrollbars-none;` set on it.

In https://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/gr/ro/default-article/r1t1r92QE2TKYq/css/0ee1f57dc9.css?_=c3ee5

@media only screen and (max-width:767px) {
 ::-webkit-scrollbar {
  display:none
 }
 html {
  overflow:-moz-scrollbars-none
 }

We should reach out to them. Setting as needscontact and leaving NI for myself.

Dropping GeckoView priority from [geckoview:p1] to [geckoview:p2] because this evangelism bug does not block Focus+GV release.

Barbara has a contact at WaPo. They have raised the issue internally.

The issue has been fixed and it is no longer reproducible. I was able to scroll toward the end of the article, with no issues encountered:
