1207504 - Fullscreen controls disappear when closing a page with fullscreen HTML5 video

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[marczellm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150826023504

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an arbitrary tab, and a YouTube video page on another tab.
2. Press F11 to make the page fullscreen.
3. Click the button that makes the video fullscreen.
4. Close the tab with Ctrl+F4 (on Windows)


Actual results:

It shows the other tab, but hovering the mouse to the top of the screen does not bring up the address bar and tab controls.

If I reopen the closed tab (Ctrl+Shift+T), fullscreen the video again and exit the fullscreen with Esc, the controls are back.


Expected results:

The tab controls should appear.

WFM with FF41 on Win 7, after closing the video tab, I go back to the 1st tab in FS mode and I can see the location bar and controls when moving the mouse to the top.

Could you update the new FF41 and test with a clean profile, please.

On FF41 the bug is fixed both on a clean profile and my regular one.

Based on comment 2 this is no longer an issue in 41.
