Tested with new Profile on Firefox 46 (Stable), Firefox 47 (Stable) and 49 (Developer Edition) on Arch Linux.

When using Firefox 46 watching an HTML5 video in fullscreen works fine, but upgrading leads to this issue. Everything will 'freeze' until I move my mousepointer.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Unfortunately not. The problem still persists.

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

Thank you. I figured out already, that it's related to Xrender in Linux. When I enabled Xrender in about:config in 47 and 49 it's working as expected again.
