Google Workspace Hangouts/Chat Images Link

For anyone who uses Google Hangouts/Chat, they know that you can send screenshots to people and pictures you've taken. This used to work great, and as expected on Firefox, when you click on the image, it opens a new tab that shows the images full size (because in the chat box it's usually too small to be legible). Now, in a recent update (either 87 or 88), this functionality was broken. Now you can't click the image, it's as though there's no "link" to open the new tab. This works just fine in Microsoft Edge, so I know it's not a Google issue, but rather a Firefox browser issue.

Anyone know how to have this resolved, or to report the bug?

Disregard... Should have tried a Firefox Refresh first... I guess one of the updates did something "screwy". All fixed now! Removed all add-ons and readded after the refresh.
