Yes, you can clearly see that on the status of the bug. Once it's fixed it will

Couldn't find a duplicate, confirming.

These actually work for the Mac version of Firefox but not on the PC version.

Giving users the ability to view Windows Media player at full screen by double clicking does show the captions. But, sadly still no captions support in Firefox.
