{{FeaturePageBody
|Feature overview=Our HTML5 media controls have changed very little since they were introduced in Firefox 3.5 -- mostly just bug fixed and keeping them working as the spec evolves. HTML5 media is an area we've made serious investment in, and it's time to make sure our default controls show it.

This project is primarily a collection of bug-fixes, updated design work, and small-scope featurettes; all building on top of the existing implementation.

This feature falls primarily in the '''Experience''' category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
|Feature dependencies=Full-screen mode will require {{bug|545812}}, security review will happen there.
|Feature non-goals=As a set of incremental evolutions, large changes such as WebRTC or a more meaningful set of streaming controls are out of scope.
|Feature ux design=Previous investigation at [[Firefox/Projects/Video_Controls]]
