Hi. The annual NORAD Santa Tracker website does not function properly under Firefox. While there are no issues with the 3D rendering itself, the 3D map is squished vertically toward the left side of the page. It appears to be defaulting to a mobile browser view. The only extension I have installed is uBlock Origin, and I turned it off for the NORAD Santa website, and the display issue persists.

Opening the site under Safari shows the Santa tracker taking up the entire browser window as it should do.

I'm currently on Mac OS Sonoma using the latest version of Firefox 121.0

Chosen solution

The site is using non-standard CSS: 

 width: -webkit-fill-available;


You can correct it by adding the following line to uBlock Origin's "My Filters" list: 

noradsanta.org###iframeMapId:style(width: 100%;)

Hi wb8979,

Do you think @zeroknight's answer solve your issue? It'll be helpful if you can mark the answer as a solution. Otherwise, I can also do that for you if you indicate it in your answer.

Also, that's a really cute theme! Do you mind sharing the name/link of the theme with me? (:

Thanks!

Sadly, I won't know if the issue is fixed until next Christmas. Norad has shut down the site until then since their Santa tracker is only active during December.

Thanks for the theme compliments though. The name is "Have a fox dream".

I'll mark this as solved, but I'll bookmark this thread and if this happens again next year, I can try the uBlock filter then.

Oh! Alright. There's nothing we can do anyway.

Thanks, Wade! Even the name is really cute. I'll check it out.

Thanks and have a good day!
