Description

Describe the bug

Whenever I try to use Vimium link hints (f), it doesn't work.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to URL 'https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0dcg0df/ghosts-us-series-1-1-pilot' (I have found the issue on Ghosts US)
  2. Click on 'The play button, and then the fullscreen button'

Browser and Vimium version

Windows 11, LibreWolf (Version: 119.0.1-1, UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0), Vimium C (Version: 1.99.997, Last Updated 01/01/24)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue at the linked BBC iPlayer episode by starting playback and entering fullscreen in the reported LibreWolf environment. Trace Vimium's link-hint handling for fullscreen content; done means pressing f displays usable hints and allows links or controls to be selected there.
