Status bar not hiding in fullscreen video after updating to Firefox 138.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows
Hello,
I recently updated my Firefox browser to the latest version, 138.0.1 (64-bit), on Windows.
After the update, I noticed that when playing videos in fullscreen mode (for example, on YouTube or other video websites), the Windows taskbar (the bar at the bottom of the screen with the Start menu icon) does not hide automatically. This is affecting my fullscreen viewing experience.
Before updating to version 138.0.1, the Windows taskbar would hide correctly when entering fullscreen video.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with the Windows taskbar not hiding, or if there are any suggested solutions to help resolve this problem.
Thank you for your help!

I have the same problem and its annoying AF. Using latest firefox update and nvidia drivers.
The only workaround is entering fullscreen F11 and then fullscreen the video.
I also have this confusion, firefox on 137.0.2 performance is still normal, but upgrade to 138.0~139.0b3 is in the video full screen when the windows10 taskbar can not be hidden correctly.
But if you first enable the video in picture control, and then the full-screen video can hide the taskbar.

Same failure here. Works as expected (hides taskbar) on any other browser.

All 4 of these tickets are the same issue. Should be a very simple fix for an incredibly annoying bug.
As a temporary workaround, could you try double pressing Win? Does it hide the taskbar?
We would also appreciate including your Troubleshooting Information.

No, double pressing Win does not hide the taskbar.
Ok, I am going to create a bug report regarding your issue.
