Details
The BigQuery console website uses the CSS resize: horizontal on <th> tags in query results tables to allow for clicking+dragging to resize the table columns, which didn't work in Firefox for a long time (bug 1659515, bug 1871350) but which got supported earlier this year as a result of resolving bug 221154. However, now that functionality has been regressed by a commit for bug 1877719.

I'd guess that this affects many other things beyond just the BigQuery console, but I haven't done any testing to verify whether resize: horizontal CSS on table headers/cells is broken in general and I didn't want to incorrectly overstate the impact.

However, now that functionality has been regressed by a commit for bug 1877719.
More specifically, we disabled the new functionality, since it's not quite ready for primetime yet. Bug 1883699 is the tracking bug for turning it back on and letting it ride the trains to release.
There wasn't really a regression here in terms of an accidental breakage; there was just a pref that we had experimentally enabled only-on-Nightly to check for bugs, which we turned off when we realized it was causing bugs that we didn't want to live with & didn't yet have cycles to fix. That intentionally restored us to the older behavior and its deficiencies.
We've already got bug 1908353 filed on BigQuery being broken & dependent on this pref being enabled; let's dupe this to that bug.
