Video Popup Tool: A Firefox Add-on for Detached Video Playback

The 'Video Popup Tool' is a specialized Firefox add-on designed to provide an improved video watching experience. It allows users to detach HTML5 and Flash video streaming from the main browser window and pop it up in a distinct window. This comes in handy in increasing the users' focus on the video content without unnecessary distractions. It's a perfect tool for multitasking, allowing seamless browsing without closing or minimizing the video playback.
