Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

On Smartphone Samsung a35 / Android 14
Firefox Nightly Android : 129.0a1 03/07/24

I want to have PIP and open a new tab firefox , to keep browsing internet with the PIP.

I can see a video in fullscreen, and when I go on the Android desk, the Picture in Picture is working,

But, there is a missing usecase, if I run back firefox, the video is coming back fullscreen.

When a video is running on a tab firefox , could you show the shortcut icon in the bar address to force the PIP without leaving firefox ? ( as on firefox PC )

We currently don't support this feature. I'll mark this as an enhancement.

Ever confirmed: true

by example, maybe you could open the PIP in a new other firefox apps, to allow to keep browsing with the current firefox during the PIP.
