I dont want to type it in over and over again
What did you do to get it working temporarily?
I also have this problem.
Cant fullscreen youtube in firefox.
+ once fullscreen is clicked, the browser become unresponsive.
Forced to close browser and re-open.
You can right click on the top of the window border and set fullscreen or use alt+space and select fullscreen. Or you can use this guide as long as long as you understand the potential security risk.
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/full-screen-mode/
Right click on window border, choose fullscreen
The browser window goes fullscreen
NOW press the video's fullscreen button
The video will now go into fullscreen on a fullscreen window and all will be right with the world.
P.S.:
If you're running on intel IGFX, it may require some annoying tuning to get youtube working "just right" (without tearing, etc)
I'm pretty interested in doing some of that "annoying tuning." Do you have any suggestions? Anywhere I should be looking?
I Don't know anything about tuning the Intel graphics, but for me updating to firefox 51 cut my cpu usage in half (and runs much better than chrome which I used before). I think they improved software rendering dramaticaly in this update which is only available for fedora 24 I think.
I've created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf in dom0 and placed the below lines in it. Solved the tearing for me, but ymmv.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
