Scrolling up requires two downward swipes

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android. On certain websites (e.g., Yahoo News, Calscape.org, Google search results--with Goggle Search Fixer add-on enabled), I can scroll down the page without issue, but scrolling slowly back up toward the top of the page with downward drags of my finger is only responsive half of the time. That is, I can only scroll back up with every-other downward swipe/drag of my finger. This odd behavior does not happen with other mobile browsers (I'm on Android 13 and using a Galaxy A53 5G). Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I disabled the recently added feature "Pull to refresh", and the issue resolved. Therefore, I infer that this new feature is still a bit buggy, at least for some websites.

I have the same issue. But in my case it is not affected on all websites. Just in some random ones. On some websites scrolling works normally and on some it doesn't.

I have this problem also. Every other scroll up does not work. This website is one example:

Disabling pull to refresh immediately fixes the problem
