Resize Videos with Click and Drag
Used to be able to resize mp4, webm, gif videos in a comment thread by clicking on the playing video and dragging them to make them bigger or smaller and no longer can. I know that Microsoft Edge still has this feature so am wondering if there is something I have to do to get the feature back on Firefox.
To be clear I am not talking about going full screen but adjusting the size to desired size. Also when the page is refreshed it would go back to normal size.

Hi, yes understand. It would depend on the site if that is possible or not.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove your Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not remove your Firefox profile data (such as bookmarks and passwords), since that information is stored in a different location.
To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, please follow these steps: Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
- Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from this page) and save the setup file to your computer.
- After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu
and click the close button 
).
- Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

TEST''''is issue still there ?
The issue is still there after following all those steps unfortunately. As far as it depending on the site wouldn't the fact that Edge can do it means that the site does allow for it?
Hi, 7mins to do all the above, record time.
Well the first comment was something I had already done before you ever responded as I expected that response.
Then what is the site that the video is having issue with? So unless others can go there and test what your saying uninstalling and reinstall FF should fix the problems.
