Bug Description
OS version: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Firefox version: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 - 101.0.1 (64-bit)
Sometimes when I adjust the size of a Firefox window, that window becomes messed up: the contents don't fill the window, not all the controls are visible, and clicks are offset, so if I click on one spot, the window behaves as if I clicked on a different spot (so it's impossible to use Firefox in that window anymore). I seem to remember being able to fix this by dragging and dropping the window onto a different monitor or workspace in the GNOME Activities view, but I'm currently experiencing the problem and that is not helping. I took a screenshot of what's currently going on (attached) which happened when I tried to maximize the window. This is on a laptop with an external monitor that I'm using in portrait mode, via a USB-C connection that's converted to HDMI. I had plugged in to the external monitor a few minutes before this happens, and plugging in or possibly unplugging seems to make this bug more likely. This is a relatively new problem, starting within the last few weeks. (Maybe after I switched to the snap version of Firefox? I guess that was when I upgraded from the previous LTS version of Ubuntu.)

Today I noticed that the scroll bars stopped sliding smoothly a bit before I started having this problem. I could click, hold, and move to the desired part of the page, but while doing that there was no animation showing this was happening. I also noticed that hovering over a hyperlink stopped causing the URL to show up at the bottom of the screen. Rebooting fixed these problems just as it fixed the distorted window content problem.
