I started having this issue after a crash with an update to version 103 after restart. And since then when I open firefox in full screen (mac) and open a youtube video and click the picture in picture mode, firefox will just open a open/popup a new picture in picture in full screen mode instead of a smaller picture in picture window. I'm not sure if this is a macos bug or firefox.

Same over here.

All of a sudden after the update the picture-in-picture opens in fullscreen — when Firefox itself was in Fullscreen/Spaces mode however. If Firefox is in normal window mode, the breakout window opens as usual.

Very annoying tbh. Thx for the bug report! :)
