Global Hotkeys

So I tried to switch from Chrome to Firefox yesterday and there was a single addon that didn’t port across to firefox that broke the entire transition for me. Namely, an addon called Stream Keys, which allows you to map a hotkey such as Media Play/Pause to pause Youtube and Netflix and such, even if Chrome isn’t the active window or tab.

Can we get support for something like this from Firefox? Every time I look for something, they say that firefox doesn’t support global hotkeys and thus this won’t work.

I’m having the same experience. I use an addon in Chrome to control media and with global hotkeys, I can pause/play from any app. In Firefox, I have to have FF focused.
It would be great to be able to use the hotkey from anywhere. Even if it was an addon that enabled the functionality.

I’m in the same boat, and can’t change because of this as well…
