1673372 - Firefox-esr doesn't apply scale factor of system

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[teodoro.coluccio]

When I enlarge the text through the scale factor, for example setting it on
1.25, I can see all app with enlarged text, except firefox.
Searching on internet I see that this is a known bug, like you can see here
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1604761
I read that it has already been fixed in version 73.0b2, but i'm using the 78.3.0esr and the defect remains. I think it is a problem that only affects esr versions, because using version 82.0 (not esr) via flatpak, this scales correctly.

Severity needs to be set by the triage owner and/or owners of the component. Without that, important bugs like this one can get lost...

Is this issue still there in 91esr?
