Hello, I was testing out picture in picture while working on some coding and all was working fine while in "small mode" but I got into the show I was watching and I made picture in picture full screen (Without returning to the main video source) after a few minutes my screen goes black, That is becaused my power settings on my laptop turn the screen off after a few minutes of not using the pic but thats the problem, I am using the computer.....watching a show of course. Now this doesn't happen when in normal mode meaning not in picture in picture mode, So basicly i'm saying could you guys look into making picture in picture full screen mode not make the screen go to sleep like in a normal player, I understand I can also turn off picture in picture mode or turn my screen auto turn off after a few minutes off but I would think it would be much better if the picture in picture full screen mode worked the same as watching something in a normal player which doesn't make your screen turn off, Not sure if its a bug or was just over looked either way thought I would let you guys know. Also want to add that picture in picture mode is a great idea, I have always wanted to beable to watch something while working when only having 1 screen and picture in picture works great for that keep up the good work! Hope you guys understand what I'm reporting here thanks.

This is definitely an issue that should be reported on Bugzilla. You can also find a guide on how to report a bug on https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines. If you need more help don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for report this issue :).

Sadly, Firefox Accounts aren't supported by bugzilla yet. When you tried to create an account, did you get an error? Oh and if you wish, would you like me to report it for you while you resolve the issue with bugzilla. If yes, I'll share the bugreport link here after it's done.
