About this extension

This extension adds an handy "Play video externally" button on Firefox for Android "Addons" menu.

## Usage

- Land on any page with a video playing
- Click on browser 3 dots -> Addons -> Play video externally
- A new tab should open with an address "intent://"
- Click on browser 3 dots -> "Open in app"
- Your default player should open or Android should ask you to select a player
- Enjoy

If nothing happens, make sure only one video is playing and try again. Unfortunately support for toast notifications has been removed so cannot provide feedback.

## Installation

Currently can only be installed on Firefox for Android nightly, as support for installing 3rd party Addons is still limited in the official channel.

To enable installing other Addons, follow this guide:

You can use my user and collection instead of creating your own:
