Make use of win10 Firefox's Picture in Picture

[heimer 11]

Hi,

 

With 71.0 comes a new picture in picture feature for Windows 10. I can see the small blue icon on the right hand side, I can hover it and the text reveals nothing happens when I press it. Here's mozilla's blog post about it: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/12/03/news-from-firefox-on-mobile-private-network-and-desktop/#PiP

Hi.  Not really saying yes or no to this specific request but, in a multi-tab/window environment like a browser, what is the advantage to PiP?  Can't you just drag your video tab to somewhere off to the side and then go on with whatever in another tab/window?

Of course but there's wasted space. The PiP in chrome works really well, I sometimes choose to open up chrome just for that even though I would so much more prefer firefox. It's easy to resize and move around.

questioning default browser features and calling them "specific requests" while it already worked and you "broke" it and it's working on other browser

 

interesting approach

Sorry, I don't really follow what you're trying to say but I'm just trying to gather as much information as we can to understand the request.

Just to be clear. What I wish is Firefox's PiP support for the Web Player. Firefox introduced PiP support for windows in version 71.0 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/71.0/releasenotes/

I have firefox 72 beta which i use for testing purposes and the blue button is working just fine for me. It's pretty much exactly the same as in Chrome, except in Chrome the button is part of our OSD.

I went back and tested again with the latest stable firefox. PiP didn't work sadly.
