So whether its twitch or youtube or any other site that uses one, when I have an 'html5' player there's a couple pixel border on the top/bottom of the screen that is kind of jarring for it to be there and keeps it from feeling like true fullscreen. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it, or if it was even possible.

The image above is a cropped example of the border as it appears at the top of the screen. Tried including it as an added image but it didn't want to upload properly :/ The color of the border seems to relate to the current firefox theme (I use walnut so in this example its like this orange-brown which makes it all the worse for darker videos)

Thanks in advance for help

Did you notice this before installing Windows 10?

Firefox 40, due out next week, will have numerous compatibility fixes for Windows 10, so hopefully that will resolve this issue. If not, could you update us on whether it is any better or worse?

It's been an issue for me since html5 vids came out back on windows 7 and is the same in windows 10. That being said I did an upgrade over 7, not a fresh install.
