Chrome has a feature that lets Windows 10's native play/pause control playback of video in chrome tabs. For example I have a button on my mouse and my keyboard that plays/pauses my Spotify/VLC/etc, but when I use chrome it can also play/pause my Youtube videos playing from Chrome. I really love this feature and it's the only reason I'm not using Firefox right now. Does anyone know if this feature is possible in Firefox or if there are any extensions that can do something similar?

Hello drowsy,

When I want to pause/play a video, I just press the spacebar on my keyboard (you can also press the "K" key) .....

Sorry, I should have been more clear with what the feature is. I am aware of using space or 'k' to play pause. The play/pause I am talking about is able to be used from any window I am using on Windows. I could be in a different app or window or even tab of chrome and use the play/pause function key/mouse key to play/pause the current media playing in that chrome tab. It plays/pauses whatever the last media played was. It even shows a little picture and title of the video in the top left like how Spotify shows what song you're listening to when you pause or change volume.
