This bug is a regression in Firefox 88 from accessibility.mouse_focuses_formcontrol bug 1614658.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In Firefox >= 88 on macOS, play any YouTube video, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3uKmSm1v-4
  2. Pause video playback either by pressing the k key or clicking the ⏸ Pause button with the mouse. Do NOT pause by pressing the space bar.
  3. Try to resume video playback by pressing the space bar.

Expected results

Video playback should resume playback, like in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox <= 87.

Actual results

Video playback resumes for a split second and then pauses again. Resuming playback using the k key or clicking the ▶️ Play button with the mouse works correctly.

This seems to work fine on Windows, which also focuses form controls on mouse input, so I suspect youtube is doing something different on the two OSes. Emilio, can you take a look?

I'll contact the youtube folks, as the behavior should match Chrome now...

This looks like bug 1481400, and I could reproduce it on windows as well.
