Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox Graveyard :: Shumway, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

TBD:
* remove Shumway overlay button?
* remove context menu or add "About Shumway [version]" context menu item, like Flash plugin's "About Adobe Flash Player [version]"? (bug 1064435)
* pause or throttle Facebook video player when off screen or in background tabs? (bug 1108483)
* how to handle plugin click to play?

Yes, definitely.

That's a good question. Probably useful to have in some fashion.

Yes!

Very good question. I think if a user explicitly enabled click to play, they might be really annoyed if these auto-playing videos start appearing again all of a sudden.

Changing title because we shouldn't focus this on just JWPlayer.
