Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:144.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/144.0

Steps to reproduce:

playing any videos in fullscreen.
Tested sites:youtube.com,rumble.com,douyin.com,bilibili.com

Actual results:

When playing videos in fullscreen, Firefox's screen orientation is locked to the video's orientation. For example, when playing a horizontal video in fullscreen(1920x1080), Firefox's screen rotation is locked to horizontal and cannot switch to vertical; the same applies when playing a vertical video(1080x1920) in fullscreen.

Expected results:

When playing videos in full screen, Firefox's screen orientation can rotate freely.

Summary: fullscreen videos' screen orientation is locked → [Firefox Android]fullscreen videos' screen orientation is locked

I compared with Chrome. When watching a full screen video and rotating the phone, on my Pixel 7 (Android 16), it shows the "Rotate" button a few seconds.
We should probably implement a similar behavior.
