This issue is due to the preload images setting being off. Tap on that link to turn it on. It's enabled by default and with the scrolling performance issue mostly resolved now, it's better to turn that on.

    1. Really cool link to the exact setting, I didn't know that was possible! Thank you for including it :)

    2. Unfortunately, turning this setting on did not fix the problem. What seems to happen is that clicking on the thumbnail in the post (when the post itself is an article, but the image shown is a picture in the article) tries to load the picture, not the article? I am still able to copy the link to the article and paste it into Firefox though. I can provide more photos if needed.
