Is there any way to make the "exit fullscreen" button in Youtube bigger?
If youtube's in fullscreen mode and I want to exit it I'm used to just sweeping the mouse to the right and down, cursor ends up in the corner, where "exit fullscreen button" is. In Chrome you click and that's it, however in Firefox a click is registered as a click anywhere else on the player - it pauses/unpauses the video. You need the cursor to be precisely on the button, which is not exactly in the corner. That's a majorly annoying design flaw :-( Is there any extension or an obscure setting that fixes it?

Added the link in case you'd want to reopen it.
How about the solution on Reddit though ?
But I have another problem in Chrome youtube users will be shown a 3-second preview of the video if you hover over the thumbnail, giving you better sense for what each video is about and making it easier to find the next great video to watch in firefox it doesnt work how can I fix this bug?
First, would you please take a look at this Reddit thread :

But, good news ! I found this add-on :

('Quantum' is just a fancy name they came up with for Firefox version 57.0, because it was improved .... )
It should work, but I just saw some of the reviews : they ask the developer to make it compatible with Firefox version 59.0.2 - maybe you too could ask the developer ?
Found some more add-ons that maybe you'd like to give a try :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/get-thumbnail-to-video-youtube/
and :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-preview-plus/
Any good ?
Should none of those add-ons work for you - maybe you could post a question on one of the Google Help forums, as Google has made this to work on Chrome and Opera only.
