I am unable to reproduce this bug using the latest Nightly. Can you confirm this bug is reproducible?

Comment 2

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]

Yes, I do. The issue is also reproducible on latest Nightly:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0a1) Gecko/20120105 Firefox/12.0a1

To be more specific, at step 4, by "expand" I mean "large player" button, not fullscreen button.
But the issue seems to be reproducible also on Opera and Chrome. However strange it works fine on IE9 and Safari.

What if you spoof your user agent to IE9 or Safari? Also, does this happen for any other sites which stream HTML5 video?

Comment 5

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]

I can't find other sites with expand/reduce html5 video function

Comment 6

[u279076]

Paul, you didn't answer my first question...what about User Agent string spoofing?

Comment 7

The video in comment 0 is served using Flash for me.  I can reproduce this using a video using an HTML5 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks781rIsObI

I also see this behaviour in Chrome and Opera, so it's either intended behaviour (unlikely, as it differs from the Flash player) or a bug in the YouTube HTML5 player.

Works OK with Firefox user agent changed to IE7 and 8. Doesn't work with IE9 and Safari

Comment 9

[u279076]

Given that, I concur with comment 7.
