Not able to repro on macOS, it might be specific to Windows.

This is reproducible only with touchscreens.

Tentatively marking this blocking nightly. Should be an easy-ish fix.

As far as I can tell this is not a regression specific to desktop zooming. It happens even with apz.allow_zooming=false and in a fresh install of Firefox 79.0. Something to fix, but maybe doesn't need to block desktop-zoom-release.
