Hi Ina,

Can you confirm that this is still an issue after setting the pref media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.min-video-secs to a lower value like 20? By default, the PiP toggle does not appear if a video is less than 45 seconds long (unless media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.always-show is true).

Flipping pref media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.min-video-secs to 20 sec enables the PiP toggle for the videos from Comment 0.
Closing as INVALID. Thanks.
