Hello,

Reproduced on smartphone S23 ultra + S23 FE and A12,
but not on an A20 with the same version of FF: 125.3

The difference between this smartphone is the version of android:

• A20 in Android V11 => no problem when switching to landscape mode.
• S23 and A12 in Android 13 and 14=> problems when switching to landscape mode.

No problem with Edge, Chrome on Android 13/14 or FF for IOS 17.x.

Possible to support this bug.
Thanks.
