Scroll away when google map occupies whole screen

Hi. When I'm viewing a page containing a google map widget and after I accidentally zoom so the widget occupies the whole viewport I'm unable to scroll away or zoom out, because the map widget handles these gestures.

One of the examples is: https://www.rgs.ru/contacts/list.wbp#id=2735 (when the checkbox to request the desktop version of the site is checked)

How to overcome this problem?

Usually, if I use a single finger on the map, it scrolls the page up and down, and Google displays a message that if I want to scroll the map within the widget, I need to use two fingers. This site seems to be overriding that somehow.

If Firefox has the page fullscreen so that the top bar isn't visible, I think you're stuck, and you might have to follow a link in the map widget to get off the page, if that is an option. (I had problems loading that page so couldn't test.)
