The video is so small, you can't see anything. Does this happen at one site, or other sites also? Please provide a public like to the site.

On youtube set the video to fullscreen and 1080p resolution and you can see everithing. I have this problem only in a specific intranet site, with earlier versions of Firefox (for example Firefox ESR 38) the problem is not present.
No solution for this issue? I don't want to come back to Internet Explorer in my company!

Looks like a 'problem' created by the search coding used for that page. If you could provide a link to that page someone here might be able to help you.
Or post the code involved for that search field at the Mozilla Pastebin, as a sample 'webpage' that does what that live page does. http://pastebin.mozilla.org/ That would allow us to see first hand what the issue is and maybe come up with a suggested fix.
