I have a video element that opens in an overlay. The overlay is position: fixed, and the element inside of it is centered vertically & horizontally using position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%);.

All of the above works just fine, until a user clicks the fullscreen icon, then the video disappears... You can still hear the audio, but the video disappears...

If I cancel the transform: translate(-50%, -50%); in the debugger, the video pops right back into place...

thanks, guigs2, but i'm not really looking for ways to make it work for me, but to make it work for everyone...

i realized after posting here that what i really wanted to do was submit a bug, so i did so here; seems to be getting some traction: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1055977

If you toggle this feature in about config: browser.fullscreen.autohide to false.

Good reference http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html and http://css-tricks.com/NetMag/FluidWid.../Article-FluidWidthVideo.php


It is also possible to use the webkit fullscreen controls: http://www.thecssninja.com/demo/fullscreen/ and Fullscreen API and example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Using_full_screen_mode#Browser_compatibility
