I know that after PiP(Pitcure-in-Picture) is enabled, I can use it in two ways: one is the button on the right side of the address bar, and the other is the icon button floating on the video. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the PiP button on the address bar while hiding the icon button on the video. I do not want to turn off PiP, I just want to hide the icon button on the video. I tried setting it in about:config, but it only seems to have the opposite effect. If it's not possible to achieve what I want, where can I request this feature from Firefox?

Hello. For a while now I have been using the picture-in-picture feature to play a video in the corner while using other applications. It has been a great help as I have a single monitor.

Unfortunately, I have recently been encountering a severe issue with the feature over the last week. When attempting to use picture-in-picture while my computer is running a videogame (through Steam) my entire system will freeze. The audio still plays as normal, but the image is frozen and the system is unresponsive until I force a shutdown and reboot.

Any help at all in with this issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Over the last 6 months, and increasing number of websites don't open on Firefox. I've noticed it most consistently on any of the wikipedia/wikimedia pages, but it's not just those. When I type in an address and press return, or click on a link, the browser just acts as if nothing has happened. There does not show me the loading symbole. If I ask it to open a new tab with the site, the address appears on the tab, but the page itself is just black. Other browsers have no problem loading the same sites. I am on a mac, and using a VPN. Restarting the browser doesn't help, though restarting the computer sometimes does.

Thank you,

I am experiencing an issue with the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality in Firefox on Ubuntu. Unlike on Windows, where the PiP window automatically appears when switching tabs or pages, this does not happen on my system.

When I manually activate the PiP feature by clicking the button, the window does appear; however, it is placed behind the browser window and remains at the lowest level among other open windows. This causes it to be obscured by other applications and requires me to manually bring it to the front and adjust its position every time.

Is there a way to automate this process or resolve the issue so that the PiP window behaves as expected (i.e., stays on top of other windows and works seamlessly)? Please let me know if there are any settings, extensions, or workarounds that could address this problem.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Previously, picture in picture worked as intended, with hitting the home button playing my videos no problem. Now, at least on YouTube, it displays the box where the video should be playing but instead of playing, it just shows the top of the web page. The video does not play, it remains paused no matter what you do. It doesn't seem to affect every website, as I tested it with the iMDB video player and that worked without a hitch. It makes YouTube unusable in picture in picture. This started a few days ago, and no matter what I try, I have been unable to resolve it. I've included an image of what the issue looks like over a game, but it looks like that no matter which app you're in.

I just started having an issue with my browser where every time I tab out of a tab playing media, the pop-out video appears on its own. It's quite annoying. How do I stop this from automatically happening?

Can't use YT picture in picture mode on Firefox when logged into my YT account. When I enable picture in picture on a video and scroll down to the comments, picture in picture mode turns off as soon as I scroll past the bottom of the video.

Happens only when I'm logged into my YT account on Firefox. Logout, it works. Logged in on Edge, it works. Logged into my second YT account on Firefox, it works. Only doesn't work for this one account.

Attached images if that helps. Last image shows exactly when picture in picture mode turns off when I'm scrolling

Dear all,

Since the last update the on top YouTube videos are not playing anymore. When open YouTube video full screen with browser, then clicking on home button. It opens on top video. But this video is not playing. Could you please fix it? Regards

It says on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox#w_keyboard-shortcuts that the hotkey to toggle `PiP is CTRL Shift ]`. When I play a video it shows the PiP button, but the hotkey doesn't work. The other PiP keys like seeking and volume work. I'm on Fedora 41 with KDE 6.3.3 & Wayland.

Its only happening with youtube. it zooms into the wrong section of the screen and not the video

Ive tried restarting my phone, making a new tab, reloading the tab, exitting firefox and then going back in and turning off extentions but nothing works.

This just started today

This is a recent problem. I normally watch YouTube while I play games on my phone by splitting the screen. Recently YouTube has been unable to play videos on the smallest window size. This was possible a week ago. I have attached an image of the size at which this occurs. This is a problem large enough that I will no longer be using the browser if it continues. Half and half screen size still works, however it doesn't work for my purpose.

Along with comments no longer loading when using youtube, picture in picture no longer works. Ive already informed you of the comment section and still not fixed. Is there a way to roll back versions of Firefox to a version that isn't broken?

The PIP integration for Firefox Mobile appears broken. When I play the video, go fullscreen, and then tap home, it pauses the video and won't resume, but the picture is displayed in the pop-up player. In the player, it only shows the very top left corner of the actual video, with the rest of the space taken up by the address bar. I cleared the website's cache and data, the the app's, to be sure it wasn't an issue with my device, and the problem persists.

This issue is at least a few days old.

Attached are screenshots of the pop-up player's display I described.

I have an issue with picture in picture. Every time I'm watching a video in full screen on m.youtube.com and I want it in picture in picture mode, I press the home button, and it pauses the video whilst also going out of Fullscreen mode. This happens on a Google pixel 9 running android 15 with Firefox version 136.0.2 and on a Google pixel 3xl running android 12 with Firefox version 136.0.2. And on a Samsung s21 running android 14 with Firefox version 134.0.2 (I down graded to fix an audio issue) all of these have the same picture in picture problem How do I fix this?

I've been using firefox for a few months now to use ublock origin when watching YouTube. Yesterday I was watching a video and went to open another app on my phone when the PIP stopped playing the video. It appears that the PIP tries to open in full screen (it has the popup stating to drag from top or press back to exit when picture in picture starts) and stops playing. If I go back to the video I can play it normally but essentially picture in picture is not working. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried disabling all extensions, I cleared my browsing history, and I searched to see if anyone had a similar issue. Any tips would be appreciated. I've attached a picture of what the picture in picture looks like in case that helps.

I have a continuous problem when using the Picture in picture mode on an android phone. When enabling Picture in picture the video turns to this (see picture) and won't play it anymore. For the last 2-3 days I haven't been able to use the mode, please help.
