> You can pause and play audio or video in Firefox right from your keyboard Doesn't seem to work for me on Windows 7 (while working on Chrome on Youtube, Soundcloud and a side project of mine). Basically navigator.mediaSession still returns undefined. edit: it's win8.1 and above.

The linked documentation (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-audio-or-video-playback-your-keyboard?redirectslug=control-audio-or-video-playback-your-headset-or-keyboard&redirectlocale=en-US https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-audio-or-video-...) mentions that this is only supported on Windows 8.1 or newer.

That's still hiding behind the pref. But the media keys support would be ebabled by default on Fx81, and support for media session would be enabled by default on Fx82. The pref for media keys : media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled The pref for media session : dom.media.mediasession.enabled See more details on https://bit.ly/2WJDEY0 https://bit.ly/2WJDEY0

  Thanks for listing the pref so I can disable the darn thing. I don't currently see a user facing setting.
