YouTube controls spill outside the screen on fullscreen

In the last couple of weeks I've found that when I'm watching YouTube on Firefox for Android and I go fullscreen, the progress bar at the bottom of the screen has disappeared and the play/pause, previous and next buttons are lower than the centre of the screen.

I thought it was going to be due to one of the adblocking and sponsor-skipping extensions I have, but disabling then did nothing so I tried clearing the site data. Bingo! Picked a random video, went full screen, all the controls appeared again. But then I signed back into my YouTube/Google account and the problem recurs.

I've tried the same process on Firefox for Android 141.0.1, Firefox for Android Beta (not sure what version, that was a few days ago), and Firefox Focus 141.0.1. Chrome works fine, but I don't want to use Chrome because.... Chrome.

Any ideas from anyone what might be causing this/whether there is a fix
