Browser: Firefox addon popup menu differs in size

[internetuser2]

Describe the Bug

The height of the Firefox addon popup menu is different in height depending on how/when you click on the Bitwarden icon to open the menu.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Click once on the Bitwarden icon to open the menu. You'll notice that the menu is not very tall.
2. Without moving the mouse away click the icon again to close the menu.
3. Now still keep the mouse hovering over the icon. Click the icon again to open the menu yet again. This time the menu is the normal/correct height.
4. Move the mouse cursor away and click somewhere outside the popup to make the popup close.
5. Open the popup menu again. The size of the popup is small again.

Expected Result

The popup menu should always be the same size.

Actual Result

The popup menu is sometimes smaller then expected. It shows less information and makes working with it (especially when editing items) a bit more difficult.

I managed to resolve this issue.

I have restored Firefox to default settings and after that the issue never occurred again.

I'm not sure if this helps anybody else but I guess it is worth a try.

In my humble opinion it is not a solution to reset to default settings. I would not even call it a workaround. As a Firefox user I should be able to run it with my preferred settings, wether it is in extensions or Firefox itself. It would be a shame having to nuke all settings just to resolve this issue.

I do however acknowledge that some advanced settings might be conflicting with the Bitwarden extension. Hence I did some investigation on my system.

I found that the setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true causes this behaviour. According to privacytools this should be set to true to achieve better online privacy. Setting this to the default of false resolved the issue for me.

It is not totally unlikely that the extension Privacy Settings (that OP uses) modifies this advanced setting or some other setting which causes this behaviour of Bitwarden extension in Firefox.

After I restored Firefox to default settings I synced the settings using Firefox account, but I didn't know it does not sync the custom changes made in about:config, my bad.

Great find and yes, I do have that option enabled through that extension:

Resist fingerprinting was the issue for me.
