User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Build ID: 20150511103303 Steps to reproduce: Pre-requirements: Ensure that you are using Firefox on a system that uses at least two different independent monitors (not mirroring each other). I think this is a problem on all operating systems but I was using Ubunutu 15.04/Unity. 1. Open Firefox at one of the two monitors and select a youtube video of your choice. 2. Maximize the video to full screen mode by using the icon in the left bottom corner. 3. Move the mouse to the desktop at the second monitor and press the first mouse button. Actual results: The video escapes the full screen mode at the first monitor. Expected results: Video should stay in the full screen mode. E.g. Chrome/Chromium is behaving like expected.

Xidorn - if this is still an issue, you may want to add it to your fullscreen work.

Are you using Flash video player or HTML5 video player when that happens? If that was Flash, then probably it is unsolvable for us because whether Flash exits fullscreen cannot be controlled by the browser. Chrome uses a newer version of Flash, which may have a different behavior. Also, HTML5 player shouldn't have this issue.
Flags: needinfo?(quanxunzhen) → needinfo?(jukey)
I can confirm that this behaviour only exists if the Flash plugin is used. Using the HTML5 player it's fine. I assume you want to close the bug as resolved / wontfix?

The Flash issue... I believe there are several similiar reports... I'd like to at least mark it duplicate to one of them. I think I commented on some bug several months ago, but I cannot find that one now.

This needs to be reopened as the problem still exists or exists again. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and the HTML5 video version on Youtube.

(In reply to Uwe Kaminski from comment #6) > I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and the HTML5 video version on Youtube. Is it reproducible on Firefox nightly 55?

I tested again on Firefox 56 (running Ubuntu Gnome 17.04). Looking a video on Youtube in full scrren mode on Monitor 1 while doing something different on MOnitor 2 now works fine. However Flash videos do still show the behavior described in the initial bug report.

This isn't a video or full-screen API issue so I'm going to move this to the plug-ins component.
