Like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox is adding a Picture-in-Picture Mode that allows users to pop the video out of the web page in a stay on top frame that they can watch while using other applications.

In a recently updated Mozilla bug post, the Picture-in-Picture feature has been enabled in the Firefox Nightly build. Using this build, you can go to a YouTube video and right-click on it twice to show a menu that contains a "Picture in Picture" option.

Rejoice, llama-whipping fans, a new version of Winamp is set to be released in 2019, according to a Monday report by TechCrunch.

Alexandre Saboundjian, the CEO of Radionomy, said that the upgrade would bring a "complete listening experience."

AudioValley, Radionomy's parent company, did not immediately respond to Ars' request for comment. The Belgian company that bought Winamp from AOL in January 2014 hasn't really done much with it since buying the remnants of the property just months after AOL finally pulled the plug.

No one wants these mistakes to happen, but when you're a crucial app store for the Department of Defense, these mistakes can't happen.
