Probably this site detect landscape based on screen width and height (landscape when remaining height < width )

Could be true. It's just that I observed it was working on chromium based browser.
It seems the way keyboard app is handled in Firefox makes the new height of the screen as screen height minus keyboard height, which may have caused this. Just a guess.

Hi!
Looks very much like it depends on the resolution, I tried 3 devices and only on one of them I was able to reproduce.

I couldn't reproduce on:

• Google Pixel 7 (Android 14).
• Redmi 9C NFC (Android 10).

I was able to reproduce on a Huawei P20 (Android 10).

Tested builds:

• RC 117.0.
• Nightly 118.0a1 (2023-08-28).

It seems the issue no longer persist. Maybe due to new Firefox changes, or Website changes, or both.
