Yeah, thanks, I tried to disable all those options but no luck.
Hello ArcherX,
Probably a rhetorical question, but after you changed the values of those prefs, did you then close and restart Firefox in order for the change(s) to take effect ?

Screenshot here. It didn't uploaded in first try.
Nightly! So fun! Note that I do not have Nightly, so I can't test this myself.
Try these preferences and see what combination does what you want, or whether we need to look for some others:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste pict and pause while the list is filtered
I think this is for the toggle control:
(3) Double-click the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
I think this is for all PIP functionality:
(4) Double-click the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
Apparently PiP is only enabled on Windows.

i have 67.0.1 and this PiP is enabled. checking about:config doesn't show "'media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.enabled".
how to disable PiP then?
