Hi Scott,

Thanks for reporting this bug and for providing a test case.

I was able to reproduce the issue reported on Firefox Nightly 82.0a1 (2020-09-09), Beta 81.0b8 and Release 80.0.1, on Mac 10.15.

I'll add this ticket to the Core: CSS Object Model in the hope someone from their team can take a look at this one and investigate.

Regards,
Virginia
