Always on Top

[maverick74]

It is stated that "because of the WebExtension API limitations, I removed the below functions: ... 3. Set pop-up window always top"

However Mozilla's experiment Min-Vid ( https://github.com/meandavejustice/min-vid ) does support the feature (which is very handy!!!)

can't it be adapted to PopupVideo?

Min-Vid is a test pilot project, support by Mozilla. It's a jetpack add-on with embedded WebExtension. In fact, Mozilla still allow test pilot project use jetpack but not for other add-on developer.

You are not the first person to make this request, I hope Firefox can add this feature to their WebExtension API.

We can request a new WebExtensions API and waiting for WebExtension team evaluation it. I REALLY need WebExtension support this feature for my add-on.

Thanks for your feedback.

@ettoolong Hi, I've a hacky solution here if you don't mind trying: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging

If you have an external program installed by users (you can distribute this via GitHub Release), it should be doable.

Specifically, send video windowID to the target program and pin it with Windows API

Did you have any updates about this feature? Always on Top? This is great addon thanks

@HarDX Sorry, no any update at this moment. It is still a limitation of the WebExtension API. :(

FYI: Firefox 68: Picture in Picture mode for Video

My another extension (with Chrome PIP API). If Firefox provide PIP API, I can migrate it to Firefox.
