From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/8252.
Videos with a smaller aspect ratio will be zoomed in. For example, videos in 16:9 running on a device that has an 18:9 aspect ratio will zoom them in, making the user able to scroll up/down the video, which can be problematic if the user is watching a video with subtitles. It should be either not zoomed in, or given the choice to.
I realise this is low priority, but it is still a problem.
Status as of Feb-2022: YouTube issue is not a Firefox issue. They are doing user agent detection that only works in Chrome. A Chrome engineer has opened a YouTube bug with them. It is possible to work around this using Ublock

I've tested several video from youtube.com, cnn.com, bbc.com, facebook.com on the Fenix Nightly 121.0a1 build from 11/10 with the following devices:
- Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (Android 7.1.1), and
- HTC 10 (Android 8).
The videos played in fullscreen could not be scrolled, the subtitles were visible.
I'll close this ticket as WORKSFORME.
