What is Media Keys?
"Media Keys" is a Firefox add-on that enriches your online media experience by allowing you to control a variety of media sites using the media keys on your keyboard. Whether it's YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, or another platform, you have the power to Play/Pause at your fingertips. Note that due to Firefox limitations, some features like Play/Pause are only available when the browser window is active, and macOS is currently not supported.
