Since I upgraded to 2.53.9.1 I cannot display You Tube videos full screen. It worked fine with 2.46. Firefox works fine.
Is there any way to get them full screen again?
I have searched it and did see one method to fix it but it does not work for me.
I am running WIN7.

Google.com works (better?) when User Agent is set to fake Firefox 78. In the same time YouTube.com (which belongs to the same company) will not work with fake UA but runs smooth with original UA of SeaMonkey.
I see you've set your User Agent to Firefox 78 with general override. It's OK but for YouTube you need original one. So you can make "site specific override".
You can use this instruction:

... but with some modification for name:
Code: Select all
general.useragent.override.youtube.com
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.9.1
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.9.1

@FRG
Just checked latest SeaMonkey 2.53.10 beta 1 pre (Build identifier: 20211016210003) and when it's set to "Identify as Firefox" then YT main page will not display correct. Direct URL to video works but with limited functionality. Two other setting for UA are accepted by YT.
