I confirm that this bug still exists. If I open for example Twitter or Facebook on a popup window the vertical scroll is gone making the popup window useless. On Chrome and Opera the popup window works just like a regular window showing scroll.

I'm sorry, but why is this a wontfix? It's an obvious bug, not a feature-request.

The bug hasn't been closed, it was just marked as wontfix for Firefox 57 since the cutoff for landing code in 57 is approaching rapidly and everybody is busy with higher-priority work.
It is still not corrected in FF59. This makes popup window almost unusable. For now, it is the only way to open a window without a tab-bar from the browser API. As the window.open API (that can be much more customized than browser.windows.create) is not usable from the background page...

This bug with the popup window being unscrollable happens to me too (FF59), but I think I found a way around it. I made a page in my extension that just redirects to the url. fix.html: (you could easily shorten this if you wanted to) > <script> > var url = new URL(window.location.href); > var parsedUrl = url.searchParams.get('url'); > location.href = parsedUrl; > </script> And then I set the url for a popup window to > windowobj.url = chrome.runtime.getURL('fix.html') + '?url=' + url; For some reason after redirecting the url through there, the scrolling in the popup window works normally
