Picture-in-Picture mode wont work

I am watching a movie and would like to use Picture-in-Picture mode so I can continue watching while working, thanks to its floating window feature. However, I can no longer use it.

I have already tried clicking the Picture-in-Picture icon on the video, using the Ctrl + Shift + ] shortcut, and verifying that the feature is enabled under Settings > Tabs and Browsing > Media. Unfortunately, none of these methods worked.

I would appreciate it if you could help me resolve this issue as soon as possible. Aside from its extension support, Picture-in-Picture is one of the main reasons I chose Mozilla Firefox.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Have you tried to restart your Firefox and your computer? Just in case.

Maybe you can also try a different website for videos, for example, www.gnu.org The Picture-in-Picture works from my Firefox.

I’ve already tried restarting both Firefox and my computer several times, and the issue still persists. I’m watching on Disney+, and Picture-in-Picture used to work perfectly before. However, it no longer works no matter what I do.

Hi, someone has reported that PiP keyboard shortcut is not working on disneyplus website. I don't have a D+ subscription, but according to the bug report they may hijack this shortcut.

Do you have a PiP icon in the address bar? Try to click it.

I also tried clicking the PiP icon in the address bar, but it still didn't work. Nothing happens when I click it.

Not sure if that will help, but could you try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode and see if the issue persists there?

The issue persists even when running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. I tried opening Picture-in-Picture using both the keyboard shortcut and the icon in the address bar, but neither method worked.

Just want to clarify: Does PiP work for other site, e.g. www.gnu.org? Or does it not work just for Disney+?
