Player for video Firefox

Player for video

A touch-first video player for Firefox on Android. No telemetry, no network access

Features & Capabilities

Firefox for Android's built-in video controls are a thin progress line and a play button. Player replaces them with controls built for a thumb.

Controls

  • Pinch — the picture fills the screen from the start, with no black bars; pinch to go back to the full frame and it snaps cleanly between the two.
  • Tap at center to pause. The picture fades to grey while paused, like Netflix.
  • −5 and +10 buttons either side of play, and a double-tap on either side of the screen does the same.
  • Seek bar — thick and raised off the bottom edge. Grab it anywhere, not just at the current position, and it moves with your finger. Slide your finger away from the bar and scrubbing gets finer, so you can land on an exact moment in a long film. The time you started from stays on the left, so you can always get back.
  • Hold either side to scrub at 2x, forward or back.
Picture
  • Night light — warms the picture to a comfortable amber for watching in the dark.
  • Brightness, contrast and saturation — adjusted with + and − buttons, not fiddly sliders. With everything at its default the picture is passed through untouched.
Subtitles
  • Use the site's own tracks, or load an .srt / .vtt file from your phone.
  • Adjustable size, and a sync offset for when subtitles drift.
Also
  • Playback speed from 0.5x to 2x.
  • Quality switching where a site offers several sources.
  • Settings are remembered on your device.
Privacy

Nocturne Player has no network access at all. There is no fetch, no XMLHttpRequest, no beacon and no remote URL anywhere in the source — a continuous integration check fails the build if any of them ever appear. It asks for two permissions: storage, to remember your settings on your device, and activeTab, so the popup can show which site you are on. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere.

Scope

Built for ordinary sites that play video through a plain HTML video element. It deliberately does not touch YouTube, Vimeo or TikTok — those ship their own player layers.

Known limits

  • Volume is left to the phone's own buttons.
  • There is no sound while holding to scrub.

Is Player for video 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.

Player for video requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

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