3- now open the developer tools and enable the Responsive Design Mode and try the last example it will not show the options.

This is funny because the testcase got fixed by bug 1489440 just 2 days ago at least for Desktop.

Yes.
Now that bug is fixed in FF 66, will that fix be released with the next version which is 65 to be released on Jan 29, 2019 or wait until version 66 gets released on 19 March 2019 ? (i mean will you merge that fix with version 65 because it exist in version 64 or because the bug is fixed in v66 so we wait v66?)

The bug is currently only fixed in Firefox66 (target field and tracking field in bug 1489440)
Firefox65 seems to be already in a "soft freeze" and the fix landed behind that date.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar

The bug itself is also very likely not critical enough to get uplifted but that is just my opinion as community bug triage guy.
In case you think that it's important enough for an uplift you have to ask the developer directly in bug 1489440.

I think it is a critical functional bug because the data list is not doing what it should do, it is not a data list because of this bug.

The release date for Firefox66 is 53 days from today i think that is a lot for Firefox64 users, i am going to ask the developer in bug 1489440.

Thank you.
