This extension no longer work properly as Coursera had updated their website a few months ago. Completely useless as it is, this extension needs to be updated.

shortcuts work but not speed control

Allows me to rewind/fast-forward by 5 seconds with arrow keys, which is extremely helpful to me. I know that wasn't necessarily the main purpose here but it gave me exactly the hotkeys I was looking for.
