## Description

Faster Video is a Firefox desktop extension designed to enhance your HTML5 video watching experience by allowing precise control over playback speed. Unlike standard options limited to 1.5x or 2.0x speeds via right-clicking on the video, this addon enables customizable speed adjustments via the context menu — accessible by right-clicking anywhere on the screen except the video itself when a single HTML5 video is playing.

This extension gives you the flexibility to speed up or slow down videos to suit your viewing preferences effortlessly. For users on mobile devices, there is also a dedicated version called [Faster Video Mobile](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/faster-video-mobile/) designed specifically for Firefox Android.
