If you are XMonad and Firefox ESR user, just like me, you might know that there is a problem with full screen videos playback. A video hangs and you cannot close it. All you can do is just to kill Firefox. It’s already fixed in the main line, but it looks like they don’t want to port the patch to ESR version.
Fortunately the patch is not too big and I adopted it for the ESR version. Here is it:

If you use Gentoo you can just put the patch in
/etc/portage/patches/www-client/firefox/firefox-45.7.0/patch.diff
file and
reemerge Firefox.
