Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open, for example, any video on YouTube and go to fullscreen mode. EVERY TIME you do this, an intrusive and annoying tooltip appears at the top of the screen.
But why, if this is just a teaching tooltip, which is enough to show 2-3 times, no more?! 😲 After the first time, this tooltip loses any meaning and is only annoying! 😡 🤬 💢 Or it is simply ignored. Don't assume that Mozilla Firefox users are so stupid that they forget the hotkey to exit fullscreen every time.
To play videos from HDD / SSD, I use QuickTime Player & IINA player. When switching to fullscreen mode, no intrusive and meaningless tooltips appear.
In Firefox, you can disable this tooltip completely on the about:config page. To do this, look for the following parameters and set them to the following values:
full-screen-api.warning.delay: -1
full-screen-api.warning.timeout: 0
But ordinary users are unlikely to ever figure it out.
In the current dev version of Chrome (112.0.5596.2), this tooltip has finally been removed! There is also no tooltip in Safari, which is built into the macOS operating system. I would like it to be turned off by default in Firefox as unnecessary. Such teaching tooltips should appear no more than 2-3 times, but not all the time.

Of course, this intrusive notification is annoying not only on YouTube, but also on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/), Gfycat (https://gfycat.com/) and other sites where you can watch content in full screen mode.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hello, thank you for the enhancement suggesstion!
Reproducible on macOS 12 on:
- Firefox 110.0.1;
- Firefox 111.0b8;
- Nightly 112.0a1;
Setting as NEW so the developers can have a look.

Thanks for taking the time to file this. There wouldn't be any obvious way to retrieve this tooltip if you dismissed it permanently. I don't think is something we will implement. As mentioned, if you set the full-screen-api.warning.timeout pref to 0 you can get the behavior you want for yourself.

Maybe you should first hear the opinion of other developers? I think you will remove this tooltip in the near future. At least because in Chrome this tooltip is no longer available since version 114.0.5735.6 (or maybe it was removed earlier). You can check it out for yourself by downloading the latest dev version of Google's web browser. Safari doesn't have it either. Mozilla always copies functions from Google's web browser and this case, I'm sure, will be no exception.

Showing the same tooltip all the time is extremely stupid and annoying! In addition, it seems that the Mozilla development team treats its users as complete idiots who are not able to remember which key or key combination is responsible for exiting full screen mode. And it's very sad.
Moreover, you can exit full screen mode not only with the Esc key, but also by double-clicking on the video itself or by clicking on the button located in the lower right corner of YouTube's translucent interface. Why then bother with this tooltip all the time? Absolute nonsense that Mozilla for some reason copied from Google 🤦♂️
