Description

Hi Knightlab,
Here's a bug for published Storymaps when viewed in Firefox 50.0 on Windows 10.
Storymap distorts slide images when published, here's a link to a published example. When I change the dimensions of the browser window, the slide image distorts accordingly.

I need the slide images, engravings, at the correct dimensions, or I can't use Storymap JS for my project.
Since it works in Chrome I'll do it anyway, but it's frustrating. I understand keeping up with browser tweeks is difficult.

Below is a screenshot showing the distorted image in Firefox (on Windows) alongside the original image in Photoshop.
Thanks, Andrew Taylor

Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked published StoryMap in Firefox 50 on Windows 10 and compare its slide-image dimensions with Chrome while resizing the browser window. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means the slide images retain their correct dimensions in Firefox during resizing.
