New Mozilla Firefox Version supports Picture in Picture mode
Picture-in-Picture mode allows a video to be contained in a separate and small window, and still be viewable whether you switch from tab-to-tab or outside the Firefox browser.
To see if Picture-in-Picture is available to you, hover your mouse over the video to see a small blue “Picture in Picture” option. Once you click the option, the video will pop into its own and will always stay as the top window, allowing you to continue to watch the video even if you switch tabs.
Currently, Picture-in-Picture will only be available on Windows OS and coming up for Android, Chromebook, iOS, MAC and Linux in the next release in January 2020.
Mozilla Firefox 71 also fixes various security vulnerabilities
