Fullscreen videos do not automatically switch to landscape orientation in Firefox for Android Stable.

Firefox for Android Audio and Video

I am experiencing an issue with fullscreen video playback in Firefox for Android Stable. When I play a video and switch it to fullscreen, Firefox does not automatically change the screen orientation to landscape, even when the video is in landscape format. The same website and video work correctly in Firefox Beta, where entering fullscreen switches the device to landscape as expected. This makes me believe the issue may be specific to the Stable version of Firefox for Android. Firefox Stable: Fullscreen video does not switch to landscape. Firefox Beta: Fullscreen video switches to landscape correctly. I have updated Firefox Stable to the latest available version, but the issue is still present. Please investigate whether there is a bug with fullscreen video orientation handling in the Stable Android release.

Firefox for Android forces landscape orientation when a video enters fullscreen, even when Android rotation is locked.

what I want is: Tap fullscreen → Firefox automatically forces landscape → even if auto-rotate is OFF → regardless of whether the video is portrait or landscape.

But Firefox stable did not able to do it on Dailymotion and Mega vedios (because for me this two i use most).
