Since the latest Firefox update I can't stream a movie in full screen

Firefox Audio and Video

My computer just updated Firefox. Since that happened I can't stream a movie in full screen. That is, I can make the window as big as the screen, but I can't hide the tabs, time and date, pull down menu titles, etc, I want to see nothing but the movie. On Netflix you typically do this by clicking on the rectangle in the bottom right corner. But now nothing happens when I click on this. Can you help with this?

Thank you

I uploaded an image to show what I mean, but nothing is showing next to the words Uploaded images.

I'd try pressing F11 first, even if the video’s own full-screen button isn't working. If that doesn't do it, restart Firefox and test the video again. Since this started right after an update, I'd also check whether Firefox's full-screen toolbar setting got changed. Type about:config in the address bar, search for browser.fullscreen.autohide, and make sure it's set to true. That setting controls whether the toolbars hide in full-screen mode.
