Can’t you just...pop out the window like any other? I don’t get it

too much wasted space. Also some sites shrink down the video if you shrink down the window (i.e. no theater mode).

I make monthly donations to Mozilla to support their cause. I will stop my donations and migrate to a different browser if they continue down this path.

You realise how weird this sounds, right? Presumably you donate because you care about the Mozilla mission, and those ads are there because donations alone aren't enough, and relying purely on Google's money is also not a great strategy. What do you want them to do, invent money out of thin air? And it's still Firefox: if you're upset enough to consider "migration to a different browser", why not instead get upset en…

> invent money out of thin air?

This is the exact businessmodel of Brave. So apparently is is not that strange a suggestion.

I find useful the Picture-in-Picture feature when was introduced, but find it really annoying that the icon has to be visible on every video (on mouse hover), and I disable it. Hope they introduce an option to show a PiP icon on the address bar when a video is on the tab, which is less intrusive, like the Reader View icon/feature.

That's a terrible UI for pages with multiple videos.

I'm afraid I'm understanding this correctly: Near 100% of Mozilla users would agree to get the $36/year subscription?

Not at all. Most of them will do what everybody does when there are free (as in beer) alternatives: use the free one.
