Hi,

I have managed to reproduce this issue on latest FF release 74.0.1 and latest Nightly 76.0a1 (2020-04-05) using Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10.

Further, I will move this over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If this is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Thanks for the report.
