Sounds to me like some of the third party plugins/extensions you've installed are conflicting with one another. That's not Mozilla's fault. That can happen to Chrome too.
You're using several extensions that were all made by different people, and not necessarily designed to interact or be functional together. That's not a Firefox bug.

Extensions are third party apps and most, if not all, of them are not made by Mozilla. If an unofficial, third party plugin doesn't work, it's not up to Firefox to fix that. The issue is with the third party apps.
FF is allowed to change their software, and they're not at fault if those changes break existing plugins that they had no hand in creating. That's not how software works.
Look like a bug on the edge of WM/App

It works fine with my Cinnamon window manager. So the bug could be in Firefox, in your WM, in both, or more likely in the integration of two, as a side effect, which why I've said "on the edge". It's nearly impossible to test your software with every combination of a system. So the solution here to file an issue both for WM and Firefox and hope someone from either communities will solve it. Or just get another browser or WM.
