I don't think this is a regression because the issue is reproducible with Firefox 39.0a1 (20150302030204). I see that older builds with a month are not loading the page. If a more accurate investigation is needed please let me know.

Thank you for the report!

I think this is the site that has some suboptimal CSS settings. For example with my Linux font setting, if I change the flex property in the following CSS

.list-item__image {
	position: relative;
	-webkit-box-flex: 0;
	-ms-flex: 0 0 12.5rem;
	flex: 0 0 12.5rem;
}

into flex: 0 0 12rem, the images become a bit smaller, and thus no extra scrollbar is shown.

I tend to close this as invalid. But let me know if you feel otherwise.
