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

Hi everyone!

Since last update (136?) when I open a page with a video in a new tab, the width of this tab is very small! Almost half my current tab.

(I don't have another example but does this have anything to do with any "media" on a page?)

I have the width set to 152 for years...

Also, when I play the video, the current tab is reduced. Pause= normal tab. Play= small tab. Pause= normal tab...

I just completely reinstalled Firefox: still the same.

Bye!

I can confirm this behavior; and that it is annoying.

I've been checking for updates frequently, but seeing the state of this bug report I am quite taken aback.

I do not think Firefox can afford to ignore issues like this ... with all the bad "press" it has gotten lately.

Err, wrong dupe - this is bug 1945993, which is already fixed in 137.
