Continuity mistake: In the pool scene where Mrs. Doubtfire picks up and throws a lime at the back of Stu's head, when Stu walks away and the camera goes back to Mrs. Doubtfire at the bar, the lime that she threw is still on the top of the stack of fruit. (01:16:40)
Revealing mistake: When the Hillards are at the pool, we see Stu, with his hairy chest, on the diving board. When the shot zooms out, we see a guy with no hair on his chest, who is obviously the stunt double. (01:15:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Mrs. Doubtfire is cooking in the kitchen, sets her fake breasts on fire, then hits them with the pan lids to put them out, you can see the camera crew in the reflection of one of the pan lids. (00:53:30)
Continuity mistake: At the end when the children learn that their dad is their new baby sitter, look at Chris' tassels on his coat from when they get to door to when Daniel says 'Go get your stuff' and he runs up stairs - between shots, his tassels are both hanging down, then hanging to the right, then hanging down etc. indicating this scene was shot at least twice. (01:52:30)
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the kitchen while Daniel is looking for a face, his robe is not closed completely at the top, but as soon as Mrs. Stelner enters, the robe is done all the way up and quite tightly. After the face cream in the coffee, Mrs. Doubtfire leaves but quickly sticks her head back in the kitchen and her robe is again loose at the top. (00:47:30)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the social worker is at Mr. Hillard's house and his so-called "sister" (Mrs. Doubtfire) is trying to find a face in the kitchen, one moment the wig is all messed up from being caught on the door. In the next scene, where she is looking in the fridge to find the face, her wig is perfectly in place. (00:47:40)
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the pool, when Pierce Brosnan dives into the pool and comes out, look at his hairline, then look at it again two shots later, after his hair stylist intervened. (01:15:00)
Continuity mistake: Daniel (disguised as Mrs Doubtfire) is cooking and knocks the cap of the pepperpot into the frying pan. In the following shot, Daniel hasn't removed the cap, but it's not there any more. (00:52:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When we see the tram just before the pool scene, if you look in the glasswork, you can see a reflection of people watching the filming take place. (01:14:15)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mrs. Selner inspects Daniel's apartment after meeting Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel is tidying up the place a bit. He picks up some articles of clothing, and then goes off to get his "sister". Before leaving down the hall, his pile of clothing is completely covered by a blue skirt or dress. But the next shot shows Daniel with a white article of clothing on top. (00:43:20)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel is in the bathtub, speaking in a German accent while on the phone with Miranda, he asks her how many children she has. At this point Daniel's chest is clean. It then cuts to Miranda who says, "I have two girls and a boy." In the next shot, however, Daniel's chest is suddenly covered in bubbles. (00:28:30)
Continuity mistake: When Chris and Lydia discover that Mrs. Doubtfire is really their father, he explains Uncle Frank's and Aunt Jack's part in it. When it cuts back to Lydia, she has a long length of hair down the front of her right shoulder, but in the next shot, when she says, "It's really you in there," the hair is suddenly behind her shoulder. (01:05:55)
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Stelner visits Mrs. Doubtfire's apartment. She is in front of a mirror and there are three separate pictures of the three children in a triangular position with Lydia at top left, Natalie below her and Chris to their right. Later on in the scene after Mrs. Doubtfire watches her mask get flattened by a truck, Mrs. Steiner is still standing by the mirror. Natalie's pic has been repositioned on top of Lydia's pic, so they are now reversed. The framed picture is also moved. (00:47:00)
Revealing mistake: When we see Daniel look at the paper and get the name Doubtfire, the actual article is not related to the headline. The article is about public hearings on applications being once every six months. The headline is about an arson attack. (00:31:40)
Continuity mistake: In the restaurant scene, just after Miranda takes Natalie to the bathroom, Chris begins to open his menu just a crack, then Mrs. Doubtfire starts talking. The camera cuts to a closer shot, and the menu is suddenly all the way open. (01:33:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Miranda walks into the house at the start, a light screen is reflected in her glasses. (00:08:00)
Continuity mistake: When Miranda is introduced to Stu, the foam mustache on her lip differs between shots. (00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: The cream on Mrs Doubtfire's face is constantly changing between shots. Note the patterns and drips. (00:48:20)
Suggested correction: It was in place because at one point, Daniel even moved his wig and fixed it.

You must be confusing which part of the scene the mistake is talking about. Right before Daniel opens the fridge door, when he has the towel over his face, his wig is messed up, there's even a strand of hair hanging down. When we see from inside the fridge, the wig is perfect without Daniel touching his wig.
