Steps to reproduce

1.Open any video serving site (eg: YouTube) and play a video.
2.Switch to Fullscreen video mode in Landscape.
3.Interact with the video to bring up the controls(pause,play,scrub bar,etc)

Actual behavior

The controls show up on a solid (opaque ) black background. They completely hide the playback content.

This is a web render problem.

@hakkikaancaliskan. Unfortunately, toggling 'gfx.webrender.force-disable' to True doesn't solve the issue for me.

Just to confirm. You need to restart fenix after toggle.

Nice. Works fine now. But doesn't it come at the cost of inability to use the GPU to render the page?

Yes but of course this is a "bug". Looks like go to full screen video change in web render broke media controls.

@Diseaesed Can you re-check with latest weekly?
Because it's working now with webrender enabled.
