advance media notification in Firefox Android

[SheikhAzharuddi]

The media notification in firefox android is way outdated..it lacks thumbnail, media colors and advance controls whereas other music apps and chromium browser media notification are so rich and pleasing to eyes

Hence please fix the media notification in firefox

Now that my YouTube Vanced has finally stopped working, this idea has become much more important for me. I hope this gets progressed soon as I would prefer to use Firefox for YouTube over something that has this function already such as Vivaldi.

Achintya Sharma was working on the same but i strongly feel mozilla axed that guy 😢

It seems they have done something now I am now getting thumbnail with custom color in media sites like youtube and imdb.

BUGS AFTER RUNNING WITH THESE CHANGES

1. the next and previous button is still not visible, I think I am missing something or doing something wrong somewhere.
2. There may be a major UI change in the notification, I still have to work on that after I solve the first bug, and I would need approval from the UI team on that.

But it seems there is no further work being done.

Better Control of Background Playback for Media in Firefox Android

Currently any background playback of media/audio in Firefox android results in a simple pause play button in the android media control center (notifications panel). An added functionality of a user dragable seek function, previous video / next video arrows, and a restart video button would be items that would greatly improve the end user experience. This is the only reason to date why I have not fully switched to Firefox Android for my day-to-day video viewing.

Firefox mobile media controls (better)

Firefox (tested on Android) mobile doesn't have the go back and forward arrows like Chromium browsers do (the ones that like change music) but only the stop button, that's bad. < should be a thing. > Also there's no playback slider either.

any progress on this topic?

[Naiihu]

+1 to this idea, this definitely is a need for Firefox mobile as it doesn't let skip playing music.

More than 2 years from this topic creation and still not implemented, please really consider this MUST HAVE feature ! 🙏

Please add the extra buttons, they are sorely needed!

This feature would make me use mizlla as my mobile browser

@JonCan we consider improving the media notification by adding all the necessary buttons like it is on Chrome? Right now it's a button sigir, just the Play and Pause one.

Please Mozilla, add the album metadata to the notification.
