This is a great way to keep watching a video while browsing online. The drawback of this plugin is that it only keeps the video on top of Firefox. If you want to switch to another program or window, it won't stay pinned on top of all your windows.

Moving the window can be a bit buggy, but it is possible to drag it to other parts of the screen. It appears, by default, in the upper left corner of your screen.

Keep YouTube on top of all windows

If you prefer to keep the YouTube window on top of all your programs, Stay On Top will be a more useful plugin. You can use this plugin to keep a full Firefox window on top of all your other windows. Unlike the previous plugin, the window is not automatically resized. Simply open the YouTube video you want to watch, resize it, and hit the blue button in Firefox.

This is a great option if you are following a YouTube tutorial and want to follow along while you go through the steps in the tutorial. If you prefer Chrome over Firefox, you can use this extension.
