This problem is occurring on a 4k (UHD) display that I have my Firefox window opening on. When I select the Bitwarden add-on its windows is shrunk compared with size on a lower resolution screen. It is extremely inconvenient working with the shrunk window because the app provides lists which can be long. The problem does not occur in the Chrome Browser on the 4k display. I have attached a screen shot of Firefox and Chrome Bitwarden app windows. The add-on developer thinks the issue is with Firefox's handling of generating the overlay window over the Firefox main window. Any help in trying to get to the cause of this issue will be most appreciated.

Did you remove the addon to see what happens to the Browser? Otherwise you might have to check addon site FAQ.

WestEnd...thanks for suggestion, but if I remove the add-on there won't be a secondary window (from the add-on) that is shrunk. Have talked with Add-on developer and he thinks it is a Firefox issue, since we are not seeing this in other browsers.

That's what I would expect them to say it's the Browser issue especially since it sounds like they didn't test it on the latest firefox version. Did you try to use firefox in safe mode and see what happens?
