Problem watching videos in fullscreen mode

Firefox Audio and Video

The taskbar (the one with the Start menu) doesn't hide when watching videos in fullscreen mode. This happens on YouTube as well as on any other website. The problem disappears if I run the browser in Safe Mode. It's only Firefox that doesn't work — in Chrome the taskbar does disappear.

Do you run any video extensions, something that would trigger picture–in–picture functionality or the like? Could you try disabling all your addons and trying again? Thanks!

The problem still occurs with all extensions disabled.
