You Tube Player Size Too Big in Firefox by default
I recently experienced that the You Tube player automatically became large.
The standard size for YouTube videos seems to have changed from their old standard into the size that used to be halfway between normal and fullscreen.
That is WAY too big, and it's actually disgusting to look at with 360p and below videos. The vast majority of videos look like crap when they're stretched out.
There is a new button, "centered player," where the old "large player" button used to be. Clicking on it will center my enormous window, then that button displays "default player," which brings me back to this large, uncentered player.
This is happening with Firefox, with IE working fine.
Although I am technically incompetent I tried a few suggestions:
Remove all cookies Hit Ctrl+Shift+K and insert the code below in console:
document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();
However, I am getting the following messages:
Use of getAttributeNodeNS() is deprecated. Use getAttributeNS() instead. util-service.jsm:590 Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
And it is not working, back to same Large Player….
Hopefully Mozilla can do something to fix this.
Thanks!

It involves running a Javascript automatically every time you load a youtube page, which resizes the player to the smaller configuration. Tested on Firefox and Chrome.

The first thing to check is your zoom settings.
<Control> + (plus) enlarge <Control> - (minus) reduce <Control> 0 (zero) reset

You said that you removed the cookies. Now
- Clear the Cache
How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
Did you try to click the large player button on the video player?
Zooming works, however when you zoom, the entire webpage becomes large or small, not just the player. Regarding clearing cache, it is not making any difference, so is hardware acceleration. No, I did not click on the large player button.
What happens if you click that button?
Does the player become larger or smaller?
If I click the large player button, the player becomes even larger, and gets "centered".
It is now called "theater mode". The other one is default view(which is way too large in the first place causing the concern)
However in IE the default view is not as big as in Firefox!!!

This is an experiment;
Disable ALL of your plugins. What are the results on Youtube?
Open the Add-ons Manager. Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools Linux; Edit Mac; application name
Then Add-ons.
Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins.
BTW; At the top right is a link to check your plugins.
