Forgot to add that this is on Wayland

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I don't think it's Wayland/Linux related.

I can't reproduce this on either Linux or Windows. Does this work with extensions disabled? Can you attach about:support information to the bug? Thanks.

That searchbox and such from your screenshot is supposed to be hidden, apparently.

Found the problem, it was because of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popupoff/, an extension that blocks cookie pop-ups.

Ok, thanks. Closing this since it doesn't seem like a firefox bug. Thanks for filing tho!
