When opening a HTML5 video site with current trunk build of Fennec, I found out that it has no context menu at all.

This is a difference to Firefox, where the context menu contains items like Play, Pause, Restart, Full Screen, Copy video URL, and much more.

I think it should be available on Fennec too (at least the most important of them, keeping in mind that space is limited on mobile)
We can't really fix the context menu issue until we have controls for the feature, so I'm marking this as dependent on the bug mentioned in comment #2

As a start, this adds a context menu for video elements with "Share Video" and "Save Video" commands:

We could add Play/Pause, but it would require a little extra code to send messages back to the child process.  I haven't done this yet because Madhava suggested just using single-tap for play/pause.

It looks like full-screen needs more code too.  Firefox uses an HTML page and openDialog to do full-screen:
