Thanks for the report Patrick.
Are we talking about scaling the webcontents, or the user interface (tabs bar, address bar, …), or both?
Can you test whether upstream firefox builds (which you can download from https:/ /www.mozilla. org/firefox/ download/ thanks) are similarly affected?
I see that you're running in a Wayland session. Does this also affect Xorg sessions?
