What is Windowed - floating Youtube/every website?
Windowed - floating Youtube/every website is a groundbreaking Firefox extension designed to revolutionize your multitasking experience. By changing fullscreen buttons on any website like Youtube, Netflix, Vimeo, and more, into popups, you can watch videos while working on other tasks. The extension does not affect video play by reloading them or introducing custom controls. A small menu offers an option to go fullscreen or windowed. The program does not support flash videos and videos with native HTML controls.

Add-on summary

Changes fullscreen buttons so they will put a window around the fullscreen app. This allows you to put a Youtube video about a subject next to the paper you a writing or watch a series on Netflix while chatting. This extension will not reload the video you are watching, nor use some custom controls: it puts the website in it's own fullscreen mode.

It will present you with a small menu when you click fullscreen, so you can choose to go fullscreen or windowed.
