Hello Frostbyte1,
You can press the "K" key on your keyboard, or the space bar.
Works like charm !
You can press "J" to go backward;
Press "L" to go forward,
Press "M" to mute.

hi, the feature is currently in development - you can enable it by turning on the media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled preference in about:config (since it's still somewhat experimental at this stage there may be bugs though).
@ Philipp :
The keys that I mentioned all work for me and have been for a very long time, even with the value of that preference set to "false" ...... (?)
i cant pause and unpause the video when i press the fn and f10 keys together like i can in chrome. and when i enable media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled it works but firefox has to be on screen for it to work it cant be minimized.

Does it have to be Fn and F10 ?
Pressing the space bar to pause and play works just fine for me; it doesn't for you ?
pressing the space bar does work i was talking about when firefox is minimized

Don't know how I could have missed that - I am so sorry !
All I could find was this thread :

'Don't know if it will work, but I found this add-on :

It's not the same thing as using a key on your keyboard, but maybe worth a try ....

Is there a place to report bugs for this? I can pause media from the keys on my keyboard but can't skip using the keys.
hi samurai-com, you can file bugs or feature requests for this through https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Core&component=Audio%2FVideo%3A%20Playback
I enabled the media keys via about:config but if I pause for more than one minute, the keys stop responding. I suspect it's a timeout setting but there are so many different timeout settings. Any idea what it might be?
