Revision Content
This is a new feature that is not yet available in released versions of Firefox. You can try it on Firefox Beta.

The Picture-in-picture feature allows you to pop out videos from a web page and watch them in a floating window while you browse to other tabs.

If you don’t want to see the controls while hovering, you can hide that option in Firefox. (Note: You can still turn on picture-in-picture view by right-clicking a video.) Or you can use this to re-enable the control when you want to use it again.

  1. In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Settings (select Preferences on older macOS versions).Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. In the General panel, scroll down to the Browsing section.
  3. Clear the check mark for Enable picture-in-picture video controls.

If you later want to re-enable the controls, simply add back the check mark.
