See the attached testcase: a simple multicol container with the following style.

 border: 1px solid blue;
 width: max-content;
 column-width: 200px;

Firefox 115 puts all the content in one column.

Google Chrome 117 & Safari 17.0 create many short columns, and the multicol container's width is way larger than the browser window width. Also, note that Google Chrome also creates some blank columns at the inline-end of the multicol container (scrolled the browser to the right to see it).
