Tested with new Profile on Firefox 46 (Stable), Firefox 47 (Stable) and 49 (Developer Edition) on Arch Linux.

Websites used: YouTube.com

When using Firefox 46 watching an HTML5 video in fullscreen works fine, but upgrading leads to this issue. Everything will 'freeze' until I move my mousepointer.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Thank you. I figured out already, that it's related to Xrender in Linux. When I enabled Xrender in about:config in 47 and 49 it's working as expected again.
