Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Feature Description:

I would like to suggest adding features similar to Samsung Browser's "Video Assistant" in Firefox to enhance the web video viewing experience. The proposed features include:

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode: Allow users to continue browsing other web pages while watching a video in a minimized, floating window that can be moved around the screen.

Gesture Control: Enable users to control video playback using gestures. For example, swiping up or down to adjust volume, and swiping left or right to fast-forward or rewind the video.

Background Playback: Support for videos to continue playing in the background even when the user switches to other apps, with audio continuing to play.

Full-Screen Playback and Casting: Provide an easy way to switch to full-screen mode and allow users to cast the video to supported devices like smart TVs.

These features would significantly improve the video viewing experience on Firefox, especially for users who multitask. I believe adding such features would also make Firefox more competitive in the browser market.

Actual results:
