It seems to be caused by fractional display scaling: The display is
configured to use 150% scaling.

When the scaling is set to 100% (native DPI), mpv and Firefox can play
the video in fullscreen without triggering the bug, everything fine just
like it should be.

When the scaling is set to 200%, there's another bug: The player goes to
fullscreen without flicker or framebuffer changes, but only plays the
video in the upper left quarter of the screen. The other three quarters
are not updated and keep the buffer data from the point where the
fullscreen was invoked.

** Attachment added: "firefox video fullscreen with 200% scaling only plays on 
a quarter screen"
