Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Attachment: Screenshot 2023-08-09 170614.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox
2. Go to about:config
3. Set full-screen-api.warning.timeout to '0'
4. Go to youtube.com
5. Open any youtube video
6. Watch said video in full screen
7. Have another application running in full screen as well (I tested with a game)
8. Repeat alt-tabbing
9. Repeat step 6-8 until

Actual results:

"youtube.com is now full screen" message box randomly shows up from the top

Expected results:

With full-screen-api.warning.timeout set to '0', on previous versions of Firefox, the message box never shows up anymore.

Forgot to mention, the message box never disappears after this happens unless I toggle in and out of full screen again.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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

Almost surely a regression from bug 1821884... Maybe that didn't deal well with the timeout=0 case?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Same issue here. I had completely forgotten that I've set full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0. I now changed it to 1 instead and that fixed the issue here.

The issue is reproducible on Firefox Nightly 118.0a1 (20230814095629) and Firefox 116.0.2 (20230805021307).

I have verified the fix on Windows 10 and MacOS 11.6 using the following Firefox versions:

• 118.0a1 (20230815091726)
• 117.0b8 (20230815180041)
• 116.0.3 (20230815164403)
• 115.2.0esr (20230815193934)

I'm setting the flags accordingly.
