Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0

Steps to reproduce:

I've opened Firefox and then entered full screen mode (doesn't matter if it's YouTube or a streaming website like Netflix, Paramount, etc.)

Firefox has to be fully closed and then be opened.

Actual results:

When entering full screen mode for the first time after opening Firefox, on the left side and at the top of the screen, there are visible borders where I can see my desktop wallpaper trough.

After leaving full screen and entering again, the error disappears until Firefox is fully closed and then opened again. Then it's occurring again for the first full screen and after that, it's gone.

I've already discovered the error in earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 11 a few years ago. The error was fixed back then but is now occurring again. In the past, it was only happening on Windows 11, not on Windows 10. It was when Windows 11 was new. I'm not sure if it's happening also on Windows 10 because I'm only using Windows 11.

Expected results:

When entering full screen, the full screen should be covered by the video. The wallpaper should not be visible anymore.

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

If you’re able to reproduce this reliably, running mozregression ( https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/ ) would help a lot in tracking this down.

Severity: -- → S3

So i had this exact problem yesterday but its the weirdest thing for me. For me Op´s "fix" also worked until yesterday where the problem persisted after exiting fullscreen and going fullscreen again. Yesterday i was able to reproduce this reliably however i noticed it also only happens on one of my two monitors. Since it was late i went to bed but someone showed me this thread and i tried to recreate it with mozgression today however in mozregression i wasnt able to reproduce it in any build in the timeframe i chose. Also which baffles me is that the problem has now again fixed for me somehow. If it comes back i will try to reproduce it on mozregression again.
