Hello! I have tried to reproduce the issue with firefox 125.0a1(2024-02-28) on Ubuntu 22.04, unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end.
Could you please answer the following questions in order to further investigate this issue:

1. Does this issue happen with a new profile? Here is a link on how to create one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles
2. Does this issue happen in the latest nightly? Here is a link from where you can download it: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/
3. Do you have any addons installed? If yes could you please list them?

Currently I'm using firefox dev edition. I've also tested it with new installed firefox-stable and firefox-nightly version and all have this bug.

I've made a video to show how to reproduce it without any keyboard stoke.

Due to my poor level of English expression. I hope the video can help understand how to reproduce this bug.
