Firefox has a new feature that lets you watch YouTube videos in cinema style. This means that the video will play in fullscreen mode with sound, and you can control the playback using the keyboard. To use this feature, open Firefox and go to YouTube.com. On the main page, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen (or press Ctrl+U). This will open a list of your recent videos. Click on one of them to start watching it. To change how the video is played, use the keyboard. To pause or play it again, press P or F, respectively. To move forward or backward 10 seconds, press Shift+10. To go to a specific point in the video, type ctrl+p (for previous 10 seconds), or shift+ctrl+p (for next 10 minutes). This feature is great for watching long videos without having to scroll down constantly or switch between tabs. It’s also great for when you want to watch a video but don’t have time to sit through an entire one right now. ..
