white space at the top of YouTube videos, Firefox


What I am seeing is that, about 8 out of 10 times I maximise a YouTube video the screen appears with a large, white top section as though I have scrolled but scrolling makes no difference.
I have this with all my Debian Sid machines running the latest Firefox. It's been happening for a while. I have googld but I only see results about thin white bars and the like.
Anybody else have this issue and/or know what causes it?

Yeah, I have the issue too (Linux Mint 19.1, latest Firefox).

I "resolved" it by placing the following CSS which I found on the web somewhere:

Code:
@-moz-document domain(youtube.com) {
    #columns, ytd-watch-flexy, ytd-watch-flexy[theater] {margin-top: 56px !important}
    .ytd-app, ytd-watch-flexy[fullscreen] {margin-top: 0 !important}
}
into (create as necessary):

Code:
~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/chrome/userContent.css
It solves the white bar at the top for full-screen videos but also affects the YouTube search page by hiding the filter button at the top, so it's apples and pears. You might be able to come up with CSS that better pinpoints the issue in question.

Thanks, i'll take a look at the script and glad to know I'm not alone so it *may* be fixed by the developers. (There was a weird certificate bug in Firefox which, literally, was solved overnight for me, the other day)

I am not seeing this as often (possibly not at all?). Has anyone else seen this improve?

I saw this on a debian laptop that I haven't updated in a long time.
I will check again today.

I think Google may have solved this, but I'll hold back on marking it "solved" for the moment.

After upgrading the glitch is gone.
