Is anyone else annoyed that Mozilla chose to spam them with an ad for this new feature via the email address they received when creating the Firefox sync account?

If you don’t like window decorations (and I don’t blame you) just run a wm with no window decorations (like cwm.)
there's a lot of firefox users that don't want to switch to a new window manager (or operating system) just for the sake of being able to pop a video out of the window it came from.

I use it directly from VLC when I need to boost up the sound a few db beyond the original threshold
