The following produces the bugs: <html> <head> <title></title> <meta content=""> <style> body::before { width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; content: "''"; } </style> </head> <body> <p> <video controls=""> <source src="/mac30-behind-the-scenes-cc-us-20140203_848x480.mp4"> </video> </p> </body> </html> The content attribute blocks video controls (user cannot click them). But, the code works well in chromium 44 (user can play/pause the video). Current workaround is adding negative value (or bring video element front) of "z-index". e.g. z-index: -1.

Chrome is Correct behavior or FF / IE is correct in this case?
It only effect Audio and Video elements on Firefox. Other elements , <a> and <img> so far tested.
At first glance this looks similar to bug 102695, but it's not. In Chrome, the video controls (and the ability to get to the video context menu -- but not to see the video) just pop up above all other content; in Firefox and IE things that cover up the video also cover up the video. I'm inclined to think this is probably WONTFIX, or at least low priority.
Component: Layout: R & A Pos → Audio/Video
Summary: CSS pseudo-element:before content blocking user event to video and audio element → video controls are covered up by (possibly transparent) things that cover up the video (unlike Chrome, where they're always on top)
So :before contents z-index to be lower than video/audio elements ?
