Hi everyone,

I use Firefox as my primary browser for several reasons, but the main one is because it has the best Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature. However, I no longer use Windows and have encountered problems with it on various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian...). Currently, I'm only using Fedora 40, and the problem persists.

The issue is that when I click on the PiP icon, it activates normally, but when I switch windows or minimize and then maximize Firefox again, the video disappears.

I will attach some screenshots to clarify the issue.

I would like to know if there is any way to resolve this. I’ve already reset the settings, cleared the cache, and tested different installation methods (software store, .tar.bz file, apt, dnf, snap). I’ve tried troubleshooting mode and even installed the Developer Edition, but the problem persists. I’m wondering if this is an issue with the Linux version of Firefox.

Thank you.

Not having this issue with this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nTO4zSEpOs I'm able to minimize, switch windows and desktops with the video still playing. I would check what version of ffmpegs you have installed. Should be something like ffmpeg -version. see screenshot

Also recommend you give Tumbleweed a spin via live usb stick.  ;-)

I forgot to ask.. What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?

Thanks for the response. While checking to see if anyone had replied, I came across a related link, where some suggested links with other questions were provided, and I found a simple solution. I installed the GNOME Shell Integration extension for Firefox Developer Edition and then the Pip on Top extension.

If anyone else has the same issue, here are the links:

PiP on top
