Firefox Add-On: Hide YouTube™ Fullscreen Controls
'Hide YouTube™ Fullscreen Controls' is a Firefox add-on that gives you more control over your YouTube™ viewing experience.

This feature-rich add-on also provides the option to conceal certain video overlays and the play/pause animation. It serves as an effective solution for viewers who find the persistent on-screen controls distracting, or prefer a cleaner viewing area.
