Rated 5 out of 5
by grayko, a month agoI'd switched to using YouTube solely within FireFox on mobile to block ads without needing to deal with ReVanced. The main problem I had was that the YT player within FireFox was missing the 'zoom to fill' in full screen feature for widescreen videos that were uploaded in a standard 16:9 aspect ratio with black bars on the top/bottom on a modern phone with a widescreen aspect ratio when horizontal. This extension is a hidden gem and fixes that perfectly by adding a well designed button to the top left of the player when in full screen (give it a second to load sometimes). Uncheck the box in extension settings for automatic enable to have manual control so you can only turn it on when you need it, and you're golden. I hope this is maintained by the dev - this extension is a lifesaver for 'cinematic' wide aspect ratio content still often uploaded in 16:9 like music videos, movie/game trailers, or short films.

- Rated 5 out of 5by i and i, 6 months agoNicely fixes fullscreen issues on mobile when viewing in "desktop mode", although the settings dialogue is not available, so I can't set the default to keep aspect ratio. Not a huge deal you just have to click the icon on each video to fit to screen correctly, otherwise a bit of the bottom is cut off.

Developer response
posted 9 months agoHi, I'm sorry to hear that. I checked and on my devices (Firefox 123.0; macOS & Firefox 123.0 Android) and it seems that it's still working. Do you get some errors (ex: popups) when playing the video or it just remains blank? If you find something that can be useful for solving it please open an issue to the GitHub project page (https://github.com/Dinoosauro/youtube-fullscreen-fit) so that I can have a look and improve the extension. Thanks for reporting! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18282042, 9 months ago
