User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

Have 2 monitors, use mac os (2021 m1 mbp in my case), have dock set to auto-hide/show, when 1 monitor has a full screen video (twitch.tv in my case) in firefox and then the main display will not auto-show the dock on mouse over when firefox has another window there.

This is an issue because it is really hard to access the dock requiring the ctrl+f3 in order to use it at all (afaik). I have instead resorted to playing the video in chrome for now. I have tested with both displays using chrome which seems to work as expected.

Actual results:

The dock isn't displayed on the main display with a normal firefox browser window when mousing over the bottom of the screen.

Expected results:

The dock should auto-show.

Can you confirm that this does not reproduce when full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen is set to true in about:config?

You're right, when I set that to true my problems disappear! Thank you so much! It seems like an odd default to have this application behave differently from others particularly due to the troubles I experienced. I could recommend changing the default but maybe others feel differently.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your response. We're working to enable this in bug 1631735. Feel free to follow along there.
