User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using this document:

<html>
<body>
    <span>Foo</span>
    <span>Foo</span>
</body>
</html>

Select both spans then, without releasing left click, move to unselect one of the spans. Your selection should look like " Foo" or "Foo ".

Now calling window.getSelection() will have both the anchorNode and focusNode be one of the <span>s

Actual results:

Incorrect window.getSelection() result

Expected results:

window.getSelection() returns the #text node as anchorNode/focusNode

Summary: Firefox considers just unselected node when windows.getSelection() is called → Firefox considers just unselected node when window.getSelection() is called
