RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1573279

People

(Reporter: shane, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

During web development the HTML 5 Video player "Picture in Picture" nuisance is present even with all about:config settings related to PIP disabled completely. Currently, none of the about:config options do anything relating to PIP, which is unfortunate as I use the about:config all the time to disable things.

Actual results:

I disabled it via about:config and it was not disabled. Very annoying "feature".

Expected results:

It should have been disabled by default and only turned on if I explicitly chose to. It did not disable when I tried to disabled it using about:config. Currently this is problematic as our client, myself and the rest of our team, hates the feature and we have no way to disable it currently.

Hi Shane!
I was unable to reproduce this issue with latest Nightly version using windows 10. I have disabled Pref related to PIP and this worked without any problem.
Could be very useful for us if you can enumerate the steps needing to reproduce this behavior, you can find information in this link:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines
Also, and if it possible for you, could you send us some screen records showing when this happens?
Thank you for cooperation!

In Firefox 70, we've added a context menu to the toggle to remove it (bug 1568320), and in bug 1573279, we plan to add a checkbox in about:preferences to disable the toggle. Duping over to the latter.
