When I view CNN live video and HBO Go video on Firefox 58.0.2 on my Mac, the video displays in a small horizontal window instead of full screen.
I tried unchecking hardware acceleration to see if this might help, but Firefox wouldn't allow me to do this in the Adobe Flash settings.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

PLEASE help with this. I can't possibly be the only one experiencing this issue.
Did you follow the instructions in my last post?
Did you try Safe Mode?
I turned off hardware acceleration and that didn't fix the problem.
I've never had this problem before in Firefox, by the way.
This is the url for CNN live video. I continues to display only a thin horizontal video window, kind of like a letterboxing effect but with actual content being removed from the top and bottom:
Type about:support in the address bar and press Enter. Under the main banner, press the button; Copy Text To Clipboard.. Now in the Reply Box on the forum page, do a right-click in the box and select Paste.

Maybe this is related to using a HiDPI (retina) screen with very large screen dimensions like your screenshot suggests.
If this only happening when a Flash player is used or also with a HTML5 media player?

It seems to be only happening when a Flash player is used in Firefox, but the CNN live video works perfectly well in Safari. I prefer to use Firefox and don't like switching browsers to view CNN and HBO video content. There must be a way to fix this within Firefox.

PLEASE HELP! Someone must have a solution. If it works on Safari, it should work on Firefox.
