Steps to reproduce the issue

In Firefox 148.0 TinyMCE keeps on refreshing indefinitely, loading the stylesheets over and over again, making it impossible to edit anything.

I was alerted to it by one of our Content Editors and get the same after updating to Firefox 148.0 - tested it on 3 machines and it's the same everywhere. See https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/49862681?key=6fc27dcc5474bab27adca0eff406a926

System information (as much as possible)

Firefox 148.0 and Joomla 5.4.3

Additional comments

Not sure, if that's a Firefox Issue or an Issue with the TinyMCE implementation.

The issue (TinyMCE editor flickering and content loading indefinitely, making article editing impossible) also:

  • Occurs in current Joomla versions 5.4.3 and 6.0.3, and also in older versions such as 4.4.14
  • Was observed in Firefox 148 on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04
  • Also occurs in Firefox Developer Edition 149.0b1

I confirm that the problem also exists on Joomla version 4.4.14 and Firefox version 148.0.0, PC with Windows 11.
