The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.

Hi, on 24th of April we volunteered to test out PIP redesign in Mozilla Connect (https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/full-controls-for-picture-in-picture-window/idi-p/103), but then we were said to track the progress in this issue here. Is volunteering still a thing or we just need to wait for this feature now?

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
We would like to make full PiP controls available to Nightly 112 users (Nightly only, not tracking for the stable channel in 112)

[Why is this notable]: Major update to the PiP experience

[Suggested wording]:
Say hello to enhanced Picture-in-Picture! Rewind, check video duration, and effortlessly switch to full-screen mode on the web's most popular video websites.

relnote is available in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/112.0a1/releasenotes/ for nightly

Comment 6

[Dianna Smith [:diannaS]]

:Ania did you want to add this in 113 nightly notes as well?

Comment 7

[Ania]

That would be great! Should I change the version to Firefox 113 here, since it's when we're releasing the feature to the stable channel?

Comment 8

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

I've added it to the 113.0a1 Nightly relnotes for now. Please tag me when the patch to ride the trains lands.

Updated the Nightly relnote to ride 113 to Release!

Comment 11

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

Apparently, this was flipped on in 112, and is thus absent from the release notes?

Comment 12

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

(In reply to Mike Hommey [:glandium] from comment #11)

Apparently, this was flipped on in 112.

Or not.

Comment 13

[Dianna Smith [:diannaS]]

I don't think it is flipped on in 112 beta/release. From what I can see, this is 'nightly only' since 111 with bug 1779124 and is enabled by default with bug 1825590 in 113.

Dianna is correct, the feature remained in Nightly intentionally until 113.
