(Whiteboard: [mac:fullscreen] )
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
Steps to reproduce:
On a laptop with no external screens.
macOS Mojave 10.14.4
- go to youtube, pick a video
- make the video full screen
- move the mouse to the top of the screen to access the menu bar
- move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to access the dock
Actual results:
- "youtube.com is now full screen" notification appears
- nothing
Expected results:
- menu bar shows
- dock shows
Now, if you switch desktops/spaces/full-screen apps (e.g. three-finger swipe left/right) and come back to the full screen browser these work as expected. Since Firefox is able to allow access to menu/dock while in fullscreen it should do so from the start.

Hi, This issue seems that it can be reproduced in Firefox Release 66.0.3, beta 67.0b8 and our latest Nightly 68.0a1 (2019-04-11), I did came across this other issue Bug 613721 which makes me think its the same issue but Bug 613721 is very old one, not sure if I should mark it as duplicate for it.
Please note that this issue does not occur for me if the Entire Browser is set to full screen.
If the Entire Firefox Browser is enlarged and then you go full screen on a youtube video, both the dock and the Full screen Exit notification are displayed when the user moves the mouse cursor up or down.
If the Browser window is not on full screen but you go full screen on a youtube video then only the top notification is displayed, the bottom Dock will not be displayed.
I'll set the Component to General but only because of Bug 613721, I'm not sure what the correct component for it is but please change it to a more suitable component, Thanks!

I suspect this is the intended behaviour when in fullscreen on macOS, but shuttling over to the Widget :: Cocoa folks to be sure.

I'm seeing the same behavior using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
I also wanted to add a couple of things I've found that haven't been mentioned in case they help at all:
- The issue persists even if non-full screen Firefox window replaces the full screen Firefox window as the "front-most" window, e.g.:
-
open 2 separate Firefox windows
-
in one window, go to a Youtube video and enter full screen
-
while the video is in full screen, use the Command+Tilde(~) shortcut or App Expose (Control+Down arrow) to bring the second, non-full screen Firefox window to the "front", placing the full screen window behind it
-
the menu bar and dock remain hidden and inaccessible even when moused-over
- Changing full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen from the default setting of false to true fixes the issue for the menu bar but unfortunately not for the dock

Issue still reproducible using 88.0a1 (20210314213752) on macOS 10.15 and macOS 11.2.3 if full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen:false
We can no longer reproduce the issue by flipping full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen:true. Both the menu bar and the dock are shown when moving the mouse to the top/bottom of the screen.
