2D to 3D video conversion on Firefox Reality browser clarification.

While wtching videos on the Reality browser, it usually shows an option to switch to a 3D format. This option still appears on videos that only exist in a 2D format. When I select the 3D option on a 2D video, it just splits the original screen and only shows half of it to each eye instead of creating a fullscreen stereoscopic image. I was wondering if it is supposed to work that way, and the 2D video input format is simply incompatible with that feature, or if there's a problem with my device/those specifc videos, and the feature is supposed to be able to convert any 2D input to stereoscopic 3D output, the same way some of those fairly old 3D televisions with adjustable depth settings could do. Thank you for your time.

Hi

Yes, I think that this is working as designed, with the option to view in a more immersive mode presented when there is video content.
