I have verified this issue using the latest Firefox Nightly 142.0a1 (Build ID: 20250716214535) build on Windows 10 x64, macOS 15.5, and Ubuntu 24.04.1.

• After following the steps outlined in the test plan, I confirm the following:
  • The layout of the first section is displayed correctly, and the cards are properly aligned.
  • I didn’t encounter any unexpected gaps, overflow, or layout shifting in the default view or while resizing the browser across different screen sizes.
