This is indeed hot as in brand new bug, but it sure is NOT a regression :)

I think this is likely an issue of the website. It seems to me this is reproducible on Chrome as well.

On Chrome it only bounces one or two times and then it stops to a position. On Firefox the bounce goes into a continuous loop.

To me, the panel bouncing design is quite odd here since it's accumulated when you quickly move the cursor in and out the menu panel. Before getting further, we will need a reduced test case to address the root cause.

Too late for firefox 52, mass-wontfix.
