YouTube website full screen cut off below (on "Samsung Galaxy A51")

more options

Hello. I use YouTube very, very often. However, I don't like the YouTube app, so I'm always in the browser. Here is my problem: Yesterday I switched from "Motorola Moto E4 +" (Android 7.1.1) to "Samsung Galaxy A51" (Android 10). I opened the YouTube on Firefox as usual and just wanted to watch a video. I tapped the full screen button and was put into full screen mode. But then I noticed that some of the picture was cut off below. All other videos that are not on YouTube are displayed normally with two black borders on the side and without any problems. This is NOT due to the mobile YouTube website, but to Firefox, because when I tried the whole thing with the Samsung browser "Samsung Internet", I also had a full screen there on YouTube also with other videos on Firefox that do not come from YouTube. So I would like to know if - and how to fix it, so that I can also see the lower part of the video. Sincerely yours A (really) very satisfied Firefox user.

Note: this has been translated by Google translator. I actually speak German.

I have a same problem on Motorola One Macro. It's because of the ratio of my screen. On youtube app you can choose to zoom or unzoom, but i don't want a youtube app installed on my phone so I am not going to use it.

I know how to fix it for a moment, do the youtube pk like 6.0 for whtv ur droid is, then update it if u.have a "glitch" like i do ull be able to.use.ur.utube search.bar for a go. I git my touch screen calibratuon.off at rhe.same.time.about half inch under, for talking.hackey crap thats.almost legal in the.stack.exchange, lol i was.about to get some points i git my 1st point today, an first ?s did a bad job on one of em i woulda changed it but i just deleted it. An ur not allowed to do that on that game. Sad i cant even unlock my bootloader on a 4.0 and im not exactly tech savy but im learning, i like the about config page more now im gonna be rolling. Psrt of the glitch is from a bad loggin ruined my nightly instal. I tried reinstal just like i thought, but i could do extensions at least but o course 55 here, i didnt see face icons in utube, ff nightly aurora hybrid i got goin.
