I could partially reproduce this issue on

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

After step #2, I see buttons "Refresh" and "Start in Safe mode" as usual but window can be only resized vertically. I am not sure if it's by design. Placing this under Toolkit:Safe browsing, so someone can look into this. Thanks!

Can you please provide a screenshot?

This looks like bug 1523126 except this should all be fixed in 66...

I can't reproduce, tested on mac and ubuntu 19.04, either on i3 or on ubuntu's default WM.

Any way to reproduce this that doesn't involve downloading another OS? Is there a standard-ish window manager that I can just apt install that behaves the same way as what ships with elementary OS?

If it helps to diagnose the cause(s) of the bug: here's someone's screenshot of Tor Browser on Elementary 5.0 Juno on Linux 5.0.4

FWIW from https://www.reddit.com/comments/d3vgto/-/f0mg61a/?context=1:

… disabling the arc theme fixes it. …

– but please note, that's in relation to the user's Waterfox Classic 56.2.14 environment.

(The user there does not plan to use Firefox. I do have Firefox 69.0 but I don't plan to install elementary OS. Sorry I can't be of more help here.)

So bug 1620575 should have fixed a number of these types of issues. If this is still happening, please file a new bug with more details. Thanks!
