Fullscreen gets soft-stuck after camera/microphone permission prompt in Firefox

Observed behaviour

When triggering a microphone or camera test from a fullscreen call, without having granted permission to camera/mic the fullscreen exits and you can only click/hover on things when you press the Escape key, probably because it thinks it's still in fullscreen Additionally the popup always appears half off-screen, at least where I tested it on Niri - it moves back when I switch tabs and then switch back once --- this could just be a Firefox bug or issue that can't be resolved here?: image Not tested with any other DE and Browser

Reproduction steps

  1. Put call in fullscreen in Firefox
  2. Click three dots
  3. Open the audio/video settings via that menu
  4. Trigger camera or microphone test without yet having allowed access to either
  5. Block and accept the warning, or Allow
  6. Stuck without being able to click or hover until pressing the Escape key
