Firefox and FancyZones in Windows 11
Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.
Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.
The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.
It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

Why not contact their support for their software issues.
Funnily enough, I sent this issue directly to support and was directed to post my issue as a "question" in this forum. Seems like Mozilla doesn't really offer support directly for Firefox.

None of the web browsers offer direct one on one support by phone, chat, email, ticket etc for their web browsers except maybe some options for Enterprise users because they paid for it. All web browsers pretty much make use of some form of community support forum.
Mozilla does offer direct ticket support here but only for their subscription based products because the users paid for it as part of subscription. An example product is Mozilla VPN.

Makes sense. In Chrome I can at least easily report an issue directly in detail with logs/video etc.
In Mozilla you can also report an issue on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org. You can try there, although don't hold your breath as it's OS-dependent feature.
