Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?
When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded). Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/ Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

This will be very tricky. Place your mouse directly over the obstruction. Right click and select Inspect Element. In the under window, find the line that highlights the obstruction. Right click and select Remove. You may need to do this several times. If you make a misteek, mistook, missteak, . . . . Error, just reload the page.
Yea, well, that would help for any element outside of the video itself, maybe an overlay layer or sth like that. What im talking about i believe is a part of the player itself, the very same screen that appears when you click on the video's timeline in a spot that has not been loaded yet. Heck, even if that would be helpful, theres no way for me to execute that method cause the gray see-through loading screen disappears after barely 1 second :S Thanks :/
Not sure i need another topic to pop another question so to avoid spam, here goes: How do i set firefox so that when clicking a link, instead of downloading it would always start playing the movie inside the browser?
Your original question was:

Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
The above webm file link is from this test page:
(The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, HTML5 audio and video in Firefox.
I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

Regarding your second question,
How do i set firefox so that when clicking a link, instead of downloading it would always start playing the movie inside the browser?
For help setting download actions in Firefox, see these articles:
- Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
- Manage file types and download actions in Firefox
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
If you need more help with that, you should ask a new question since it's really a different subject. Ref: Mozilla Support rules and guidelines Create one thread and only one thread for each subject you want to discuss. (If you do post a new question on that topic, please explain what type of movie file you are downloading and include a link to the movie file, if possible.)
