Details

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/6136.

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

This would make it easier for users to quickly skip parts of a video they are not interested in.

What/Requirements

  • the option to double-tap the left portion of the video player screen to go a few seconds (5 to 10?) backwards
  • the option to double-tap the right portion of the video player screen to go a few seconds (5 to 10?) forwards

The amount of seconds could also increase with the amount of taps.

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

When the feature works as described above. Basically, how this feature works in the YouTube app.

Change performed by the Move to Bugzilla add-on.

Severity: -- → N/A

I think it would better to add an option to set how many seconds skip backwards/forwards.

Could also be buttons on the left and right side of the video when the playback controls are visible - similar to how it is in the Youtube app and on Netflix.

I think this maybe a bit inconvenience - user needs to make playback controls visible, then find the location of button, finally tap it. Or, firefox could support both of them - double-tap screen and in playback control.
