Google Chrome and Safari browser have live captioning feature to enable deaf and hard of hearing people like myself to follow the dialogues on the video. Live Captioning will caption the video automatically if the audio of any voice is detected just like dragon speaking software. Firefox should include that feature to increase availability of the accessibility features packed in the browser. ... View more

A feature I tried to found via extensions was a pop-up for videoconferences like Opera browser has, you go to Google Meet and you can detach the call and have it pinned on top of what you are doing, you can drag the window, see shared screen, mute/unmute, video on/off, change settings and drop the call, Opera uses an internal plugin, so I couldn't find a functionality like that on addons.mozilla.org/ but seems very similar to the YouTube pop up plugin. https://www.opera.com/features/video-pop-out ...

I would appreciate if it would be possible to add hardware decoding out of the box for Firefox running on NVIDIA Linux machines, rather than having to jump through a load of hoops and installing the third-party nvidia-vaapi-driver This would help reduce CPU consumption  and improve performance when watching online videos ...

There are a lot of great products and services out there that you can subscribe to.  Mozilla has some of them, NextDNS, Mullavand, ProtonMail, Floatplane, Kagi, Ente, etc, etc.  As Google has come under more scrutiny in recent years, for better or worse, more options are becoming available. I would like to be able to pay, or financially support, these projects or products, but there are two problems. First, I have to keep track of all of them.  Between the commercial and open sources services, that's seven different accounts in seven different places that I have to keep track of, each with their own password and payment model.  I would like to consolidate those offerings into a single, bundled service that automatically gives me accounts for all of them, with one interface, one password, and one place I can pay. Second, although none are very expensive, it adds up quickly.  I would like to bundle these things together in a discounted fashion to make them affordable. Imagine having a "Mozilla Privacy Bundle" that included Mozilla VPN, Focus, ProtonMail, NextDNS, uBlock, and Kagi, all with one central login and one central payment.  It would avoid having to create accounts on all of them.  Now imagine I had the same thing for the smaller video providers out there, like Floatplane, Vimeo, Brilliant, and Peercast.  These are all smaller service providers struggling to compete with big tech. Another area that would make this more attractive is local news.  Local newspapers and radio stations are hurting, so adding subscriptions in for them would help them too! The biggest goal with this, though, is to decouple the web from ad revenue.  We may all have different feelings about ad blockers, but there's no question that ad revenue drives the web.  If people had a way to directly support the web with a single payment method, places like Phoronix, Tom's Hardware, and the (now defunct) AnandTech wouldn't have to choose between respecting their users' privacy and keeping the lights on! I'm willing to help out with the development.  I'm missing the relationships with these companies.  Mozilla, though, is a big enough name that we can maybe do it if we try! RFC.... ... View more

Many, many websites now have this behavior: at the top of an article or blog post is an embedded video. (Or sometimes, partway through.) Scrolling past the video causes it to jump to a sticky position in the lower right corner of the window. (See attached screenshot.) Also, even if various disable-autoplay boxes are ticked in my settings, the shifted video will always start playing. Granted, most sites provide a little "X" to close the video. At worst, there is the pause option. But still, it's an annoyance to have to do this on soooo many sites, every time I visit to read something. Key word there: read. My point is: if I wanted to watch the video, I would have, when it was right there in front of me. Since I have scrolled past it, this ought to be an indication that I do not want to watch the video. So, the request is some sort of option in Settings that would prevent this behavior. Enabling it would do nothing else to the page except prevent the behavior as described. Thanks for listening! ...

There is already some options to manage cache, like: browser.cache.disk.enable browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl But they don't seem to affect streaming video caching. In some cases, it would be more optimal to be able to use RAM for storing video cache. There is also an option browser.privatebrowsing.forceMediaMemoryCache, but it is only for private browsing mode, it whould be nice to have similar option for the normal mode too. ... View more

Please add a setting for playback speed so I can watch videos at 1.25x, 1.50x, 1.75x, or 2.0x speeds and even include some slower speeds. Many default video players out there across many websites do not have this setting or it is turned OFF by the website devs. This would be a huge development. ... View more

   I want to make the suggestion to Mozilla that they create a tool that speeds up videos in Mozilla Firefox. Google has an extension called Video Speed Controller that slows / speeds up videos and it is one of the top tools that I use. I use it for speeding through things like educational videos (like tutorials), or to quickly see if a video is what I'm looking for or is worth my time, or to slowly play a video to catch something (what was said or shown), etc. It's been such a blessing. I wouldn't want to be without it, and I'm confident that many people feel the same way about having a speed control tool to watch videos in their browser. It just seems to me a given that browsers would have a speed control tool. I like that Google's speed control extension speeds up to many times the normal video speed, and if Mozilla does create a speed control tool I wish that they would make it speed up videos, at least, all the way up to 7 times as fast (yes, I really use such high speeds at times, it comes in very handy). Hoping my feedback will be considered and implemented,         ... View more

I am writing to suggest an enhancement for the Firefox browser’s floating video player feature, which I believe would greatly benefit users worldwide. Currently, the floating video player in Firefox supports subtitles if they are provided by the website hosting the video. However, I propose adding the ability for users to load external SRT (Subtitle) files. This would allow users to add subtitles in different languages or from alternative sources when the video provider does not supply them. Implementing this feature would make the floating video player more accessible to a diverse, global audience, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those who speak different languages. This enhancement would also increase the flexibility and usability of Firefox’s video playback, potentially boosting overall browser usage and satisfaction. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I am confident that adding support for external subtitle files will significantly enhance the user experience and further solidify Firefox's reputation as an innovative and user-centric browser. ...

so ive had a problem some years, i cant always afford fast internet for mobile, but i can always afford to wait. the issue is that, i have learned, my buffer cache is capped at 30 seconds, and my readahead is capped at 60!!! now see i understand why that might have been done, and during normal operation im sure it prevents some abberant behavior or another, but on desktop i have found that changing media.mediasource.enabled to false media.cache_readahead_limit & media.cache_readahead_limit.cellular to a larger number means that i can buffer an entire 30 minute youtube video, it entirely fits within my cache. i would like some version of this on Firefox Mobile where i can say "i would like to sacrifice some aspects of the quality of my user experience for the sake of some other aspect I reckon that doing this would probably make it EAT ram, this is fine. anyways i love you guys. love that you even let me do THAT on desktop, keep up the great work! ...
