Regression range
This issue is not a regression as it is reproducible on builds back to Firefox 57.0a1 (2017-09-06), reproduced partially on Ubuntu 22 x64 using Fx 105.0b9, but here the issue it's not that annoying.

Summary: Clicking on a third-party Facebook login button the Facebook - Mozilla Firefox page shakes → Clicking on a third-party Facebook login button the Facebook - Mozilla Firefox page is flickering

This is probably just caused by the SmartBlock shim (which helps Facebook logins work in private browsing and strict ETP) not being perfect. I will investigate it ASAP, thanks for the report!
