Hey there,

Whenever I use the picture in picture feature on Firefox to watch something while doing other things,it has randomly gained these black bars on the side of the image and I can't work out what is different? If this is a quick fix, I haven't been able to find it, sorry!

Thank you in advance!

The Firefox Picture-in-Picture window fails to maintain its "Always on Top" focus or visibility during workspace and task switching, persisting despite a clean OS reinstall, stable NVIDIA driver setup, and extensive browser configuration tweaks.

Firefox Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Issue

  • Problem: PiP window loses "Always on Top" focus or vanishes when switching workspaces/tasks.
  • Config Changes: Set 'focusmanager.testmode' to true and 'media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-flips-visibility-on-focus-change' to false.
  • Window Settings: Focus set to "Click" via GNOME Tweaks/Settings.
  • Environment Test: Tested launching via 'MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0' to bypass Wayland focus logic.

Software & Tools

  • Tweaks: Installed for font hinting (Slight) and window behavior management.

I like to use picture-in-picture mode to watch a YouTube video in the corner of my screen while editing an image or playing an online game (since I like having something to keep my brain active while I'm doing something). Recently, however, this has resulted in my computer locking up. I don't really know how to describe it succinctly, but audio becomes super stuttery and it takes a second or more to render a single frame. Last night this resulted in the loss of an in-progress image (don't worry, I took photos of my screen so I could recreate the image), so I want to figure out how to stop this.

Just to cover my bases, here's my specs:
