Hi all,

Just updated FF to 124.0.1 and now the whatsapp web view is broken. The text input field is somewhere in the upper third of the screen and in the background, overlayed by text boxes so that I can't actually select it. It's automatically selected when switching from one chat to another so I can type there, but only blind in most cases since any comment boxes overlap it.

Tried restarting, clearing cookies, re-authenticating, disabling all plugins, nothing worked.

Does anyone experience something similar and/or know a workaround?

Thanks!

Edit: Fixed by logging out of whatsapp web, clearing cookies, restarting the browser, and then logging back in. Neither of the steps had worked on its own previously, but the combination did the trick.

This is not a Firefox bug, this is a WhatsApp bug.

I've reported it to them as well, just wanted to check all angles. In FF 123.0.2 it worked just fine.
