I just started using Firefox on iMac (10.15.6), and the media control keyboard shortcuts are not working at all. I found information that space bar is to play and stop, and arrows for rewind and fast forward, but none of them works. The play/rewind/fast forward/ keys on iMac seem to work only on safari or Music App. Can someone tell me what may be the problem or what are the correct keyboard shortcuts in control video streaming?

Thank you.

Enter about:config in the URL bar and check the media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled preference.

Thank you, but it didn't work. The media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled preference was false so I changed it to true, but it's still not working... Any other setting that I can check?
