I do see a difference in the attached video, but it's not noticeably broken in Firefox; the physics of the scroll operation are just slightly different.
From looking in DevTools: as far as I can tell, the scrolling behavior/speed here is just implementation differences in "smooth-scrolling" which is a browser scrolling-experience feature, and it's not anything special that airbnb is doing (or that's specific to airbnb) other than the fact that airbnb is presumably requesting a smooth-scroll as in the MDN example here (using options ... behavior: "smooth" or similar).
Browsers have slightly different physics for how they implement smooth-scrolling, and the feature is tuneable using the general.smoothScroll.* prefs (and can be completely disabled by setting general.smoothScroll to false).
Comparing Firefox vs. Chrome locally, I do see a very subtle difference where Chrome's smooth-scroll starts out slower and spends a short time accelerating, whereas Firefox starts out at full speed (I think). I'll file a bug on this behavior-difference, but I don't think it makes sense to track this as a compat issue on airbnb since it doesn't break the experience at all and it's pretty subtle. Hence, closing as INVALID.
