The native HTML5 player is served to us from Google and they do not serve up the same player to us with a small full-screen button on their control-row.

Test-case: http://jsfiddle.net/7K8Ew/1/

Chrome: You'll see a full-screen control on their control-row in the embedded player
Firefox for Android: The full-screen control is missing

This will need investigation into which component of their video detection script is failing. We support full-screen playback: http://people.mozilla.org/~atrain/mobile/tests/media.html, long tap on a video and select full-screen.

Not sure if this qualifies for the [video] whiteboard. Please remove if not.

Seems this is simply a dup of bug 790126 - YouTube relies on native <video> controls, and Firefox on Android doesn't have a fullscreen button there..

Re-opening and nominating based on triage discussions of bug 704229

Wes - Let's revisit this particular bug without worrying about unifying all the code.
