I've been shocked by how helpful the new Picture-in-Picture feature is. I wish the pop-out brought the full set of playback controls with it, but it's still far superior to making a full-blown window for video playback.
- dickeytk 7y agoI want to try it, but it’s windows-only right now I think
- jumbopapa 7y agoWorking on Ubuntu for me.
- nkrisc 7y agoIt is, so they say. They said it should be coming to macOS and Linux in Janurary 2020. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/12/03/news-from-firefox-on-mobile-private-network-and-desktop/#PiP https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/12/03/news-from-firefox-o...
- ihuman 7y agoIts in 71 on macOS (and maybe Linux), but its disabled by default. In about:config, search for picture-in-picture, and enable everything except for always-show (unless you want that). If you right-click a video, there will be a new picture-in-picture option. For Youtube, you need to double-right-click to bring up Firefox's right-click menu.
- snailmailman 7y agoCan confirm that these options exist and appear to work in linux, at least for me. (ubuntu 16.04) And im still on v70, so i guess its been there for a little while at least.
- s9w 7y agoIt's an interesting. In Chrome the way you can drag tabs out of the window and easily arrange youtube-tabs on the screen while they play works much smoother than in FF. But this new FF approach is kind of another way of solving that problem.
- dickeytk 7y agoCan you make them stay on top in Chrome?
- m-p-3 7y agoSadly it's less than useful on MacOS (Still not stable, you have to manually turn it on in about:config). You cannot resize it, and it doesn't stay on top.
- re4ctor 7y agoIt does all of that on Nightly. Will get to release in a couple of months.
