Event Timeline

Interesting. Was this tested on crossbrowsertesting? https://communities.vmware.com/thread/612668 suggests that it might be an issue only for Firefox running within a VM

For what it's worth I couldn't reproduce locally, but that is with MacOS 10.15 / Firefox 71.

This seems like a logical explanation, @Pcoombe. I don't have a crossbrowsertesting account but using my Browserstack account I am seeing similar behavior in Firefox. But I also see this behavior when I go to a completely unstyled form like https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_radio. It's not possible that Firefox didn't show radio buttons in a completely unstyled state, so I think this must be a VM thing.

To test that theory further, @jbolorinos-ctr, can you go to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_type_radio with the crossbrowsertesting setup that you're seeing the issue in? If the radios do not appear there, I think we can safely assume the VM issue is the cause.

Thanks for the valuable inputs @Pcoombe and @EWilfong_WMF! I just tested the link you sent and it does appear that this is a VM issue and NOT an issue with the banners.
