The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Video/Audio Controls' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Confirmed.

Firefox 88.0 (64-bit), Windows 10 20H2 64-bit.

I found, that in PIP window mode controls are auto-hidden correctly.

I found a workaround - move a cursor to any screen edge, controls are hidden then, but mouse cursor is not hidden, so you have to move a cursor to right or bottom screen edge.

Thanks for filing this bug!

Are you still able to reproduce this?
I just tested this on Firefox 111 and the controls will disappear after a few seconds of no mouse movement.

Thanks!

I can reproduce it, using the latest Nightly version, default settings, no addons.

It's different now, mouse cursor and now also the time is not hidden, not sure if it's on purpose, but it's wrong IMO.
Sometime the mouse cursor is hidden correctky, when moving it a bit, but can't reproduce it.

New issue, there is no space between the time and controls, not even 1 pixel.

Another bug, not sure it should be reported separately, I reported it, I reported it in a separated topic here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1809736

Controls are not automatically hidden too - and subtitles are frozen, can't reproduce it every time, use left and right arrow keys to seek if subtitles are shown.

Please check also this related bug I reported, I can reproduce it now, I will add the new steps there:

Firefox Nightly 111.0a1 (2023-01-24) (64-bit), Windows 10 21H1 64-bit.

OK, so sometime also the time is auto-hidden, sometime subtitles are frozen and sometime subtitles are not showing, probably auto-hidden too.

Sometime the fullscreen mode is disabled without pressing any key or using mouse, it's changed to window mode, but the window size is changed from small window to whole screen, so the PIP window size and position is lost, reported in the other topic, I had it many times, but I can't reproduce it every time, yet.
