[whatwg] Firefox 4 Beta 1

[Conan Kudo (ニール・ゴンパ)]

The problem is that YouTube's fullscreen button doesn't actually make the
video full screen, so it doesn't take advantage of the hardware accelerated
fullscreen video in Firefox 4. There's no generic API for allowing web pages
to create skinned HTML 5 players with a "click to fullscreen" button.
