I'm out of the loop. What happened? Did someone decompile their code and find definitive proof of a throttle for Firefox?

    some explanation

    To be fair, they used setTimeout() and not thread.sleep() because the latter isn't possible out of the box in JS ^^

    JavaScript is an interpreted language, so no decompilation is necessary, although this is repeatable by using a Firefox user agent.

    You can build a virtual machine in JavaScript and execute compiled code on it
