I get native HTML5 video on IMDB; when I attempt to enter full-screen I run into bug 853986 with the dynamic-toolbar enabled.

I found that IMDB only serves Flash video when Flash is installed on the device (makes sense). However, I can't reproduce this bug because I'm running into a crash when I activate the plugin :/ I filed bug about that.

However, maybe we just need a reduced testcase of a fullscreen plugin to see this issue.

Actually, I just realized that since I'm not seeing this crash on Nightly, I can try to reproduce on Nightly :)

And the result is that I can enter fullscreen mode, but the video immediately exits fullscreen mode once it enters it. However, I'm seeing consistent behavior when the dynamic toolbar is enabled or disabled, so I'm not sure there is a dynamic toolbar bug here.

And for the record, I found that the video controls do work with the HTML5 video on my Nexus 4 (no Flash installed).

I saw the same behavior for the imdb video player on the Android Stock browser and Firefox Mobile but only if you turn the device to the right (turn the device to landscape on the right side) and not when turned to the left.

I can't reproduce this issue as described in comment 0 on Aurora or Nightly. The controls all work for me fine, and tapping the fullscreen button makes the video enter fullscreen.

I did notice that if the video is playing while entering fullscreen mode, it immediately leaves fullscreen mode, but this would be a different bug. This also happens on Beta and Release, so it's not a regression, but unfortunately it seems to work in the stock browser (although only if was already in landscape mode when entering fullscreen mode).
