I saw that there was the same issue reported here https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/124300 . I'm also using windows 11 but not the insider version. It's Windows 11 Pro 22H2, build 22621.2361.

We appreciate your report but I was not able to reproduce this issue. Tested on Win 11 Pro 22H2 Build 22621.2283.

Tested on: • Browser / Version: Firefox Release 118.0.2 • Operating System: Windows 11

Suggestions: • Clear cache/data/cookies, disable Ad-blocker (if available), or use a clean profile and check again • If there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config), please revert to the default settings

How to create a new profile:

1. Open a new tab
2. Type in the address bar "about:profiles"
3. Press "Enter"
4. Click on "Create a New Profile"
5. Click "Next"
6. Name your profile
7. Click "Finish"
8. Head to your newly created profile
9. Click "Launch profile in new browser"

Note: You can return to your old profile at any given time by accessing "about:profiles" in the address bar

Hi @sv-calin , using a new profile did the trick. Thank you very much. Closing the issue.
