Thanks for the testcase Ian!
Unfortunately, I still do not understand exactly what is the issue. If you could elaborate a bit or share a recording of how it should be and how it is currently that would be appreciated.

Although the button has "pointer-events: none" and is unclickable, its child element which has "pointer-events: auto" should be clickable.

The issue is that its child element is being unclickable, too.

Thank again Ian, that helped :)

Reproduced the issue on Firefox Release 65.0 - I believe you see the issue on this Firefox version too.
Can't reproduce it on latest Beta nor Nightly, mozregression pointed out that this Bug 1512259 patch fixed it.

Can you also confirm if it is fixed on Beta or Nightly?

I just tried the Beta and couldn't reproduce the issue. It appears that the Beta fixed the issue.

It should have been bug 1089326 which fixed this.
