1071873 - YouTube layout is too wide on the Linux version of Firefox

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Jan Corazza]

Attachment: Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140830210550

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox 32 on Ubuntu 14.04
2. Go to www.youtube.com and open a video page


Actual results:

On Linux, the layout is too wide. On Windows, it is as it should be.


Expected results:

I expect the layout on Linux to be of the same form as that on Windows.

I don't know whether this is an issue on YouTube's or Firefox' side. I suspect YouTube, but it is still an interesting problem to investigate.

Attachment: Linux layout seems to be fine when using the window spread feature in Ubuntu (just adjusts itself)

This is just YouTube either doing responsive design or serving you different CSS because their A/B testing code felt like it, as far as I can tell - loading the same video on my copy of Firefox on 14.04 looks like the other screenshots.
