I don't know if it is the last update, but since this week the scrolling menu on numerous website on firefox become messed up and instead having their usual limited height (like no more than 400px) when there are numerous links in the menu, they now reach the bottom of the windows.

I added some image to explain the problem with two sites: one screenshot show firefox bug, and the other is a screenshot (from edge) to show how the scrolling menu with limited height was supposed to be before the bug.

Also the problem appear even in the debug mode, so i doubt it is an extension trouble. How to solve this problem?

This is an intentional change in Firefox 122 (Bug 1866984):

Don't artificially constrain select menupopup height.

What advantage does limiting the height have?

to not recover the entire windows and being less ugly (the height limit, make the site design look cleaner), all other browsers (and firefox before 122) and even most software (excel, etc) use a scrolling bar when list is too long. Is there a way (like in about:config) to have the 19-20 lines limit back?

The code to limit menulists to 20 rows has been removed. It could be reconsidered if you discover some kind of usability or accessibility issue.
