Hi,

just to let you know, it seems as initial MPRIS support has landed in Firefox 75 a week ago.

Did you try it? I'm running 75.0b4 now but don't see it working yet, not sure what I'm missing :thinking:

Nope, still on Firefox 74.

For now it's only in the nightly, however there seems to be some problem with the play-pause functionality (at least for me)

I'm on 75.0 right now and mpris functionality does not seem to be enabled. Playing a video firefox will not show up on playerctl -l.

Works after toggling media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled.
