Can't use keyboard's pause button
So my keyboard came with a pause/play button on it, which for most video and music players works fine, you just press it and it stops or starts. For Firefox though it doesn't work, and I can't find anything about how to get it to work, either in tutorials online or in the settings in Firefox. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Quite honestly it doesn't surprise me that an auxiliary key like that with a desktop PC doesn't work in Firefox for features that aren't "standard" or expected by Firefox. The online software for "players" handle those functions. Laptop's typically handle their "special keys thru the hardware and then into the Windows OS directly, leaving the web browser "out of the picture".
Does that Keyboard come with its own software?
Plus perhaps if we would know the brand & model keyboard that is, someone here might have suggestions.
But it seems to me that software drivers for that specific hardware device would be needed for it to work with Firefox. I have run into that frequently is past years with many hardware devices that were connected to PC's.
Does setting media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled = true on the about:config page has any effect ?
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
