Google Cloud Console renders incorrectly in Firefox making it unusable

16 points by onionjake ↗ HN
For the past week or two Google Cloud Console renders incorrectly in Firefox. It ends up with a giant white bar hiding some of the buttons you need to click to create instances, etc. which makes it unusable. I've confirmed this with several coworkers that also use firefox.

I've reported it via their feedback tool, but no luck so far on a fix. Chrome doesn't have the issue.

The white bar isn't as big for me as your screenshot, but I also have one near the bottom of the navigation bar.

I've tried disabling plugins, enhanced tracking protection, changing my scaling, etc. and it always looks the same.

Happens to me too. I need to refresh the page and click the right button before the white bar appears.

Highlights the importance of standardization. There is no standard for web, just a bunch of competing vendors each having their own idiosyncratic version.

I thought I was part of some broken AB test. I have just been deleting the div in dev tools but it’s really annoying

This is irritating. If you want to continue using Firefox, you may be able to remove this problem using the Adblocker Ultimate add-on. If you go to the GCP console, and then click on Adblocker, it will show amenu item "Block Element". If you can select the white patch, it will remove it, and keep it removed. It worked for me.
