Which capabilities are you using?
What happened?
The call to scrollIntoView doens't work in Firefox but works in Chrome.
The context is that there's an horizontally scrollable container with the button being invisible to the right.
What is your expected behavior?
scrollIntoView should make the button visible so that it can be clicked.
How to reproduce the bug.
npm ci
npm test
The test uses click with an option parameter, which triggers a scrollIntoView call.
Compare with Chrome:
BROWSER=chrome npm test
