On Android, selecting Facebook posts open the browser where the user can usually use all of the screen real estate for page viewing.

2) Log into Facebook with an account.
3) Select a post with a Youtbe link.

Actual:
The size of the banner in landscape mode can make it difficult to view the video.

Expected:

Facebook videos are handled the same way in Firefox OS and Firefox for Android: the video should opened in a new browser window. If there's a bug with how it's displayed it's on Firefox OS not us.

That being said, the screen shot looks like YouTube to me.

That is definitely Youtube opening in a popup. FB has no control over how external content opening in popups looks like. I recommend closing this one.
