Hi Harshini,

Could you please provide a simplified testcase for this issue (https://jsfiddle.net/) so that I can test your issue on my end?

Also please try to reproduce this on the latest release(43.0.4) and/or the latest Nightly (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and provide the results. When doing this, please try to reproduce with a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even in safe mode, as some of this issues may be caused by third party installed add-ons or custom settings(https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems).

Thanks,
Cipri
