Features & Capabilities

Instagram Media Controls adds a clean, minimal media control bar to Instagram Web videos, including Reels and feed videos.

Instagram's web player does not always provide the playback controls users expect. This extension adds a lightweight overlay so you can control videos directly without leaving the page.

Features:

Play and pause videos
Scrub through the video timeline
Adjust volume and mute/unmute
Change playback speed from 0.25x to 3x
Open Picture-in-Picture when supported
Use fullscreen controls
Save your preferred speed and volume
Hide Instagram's duplicate audio overlay on the active video

The interface is intentionally transparent and unobtrusive, designed to stay close to Instagram's own visual style.

Is Instagram Media Controls Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Instagram Media Controls requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Instagram Media Controls is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
