Is there a working Streamkeys/Media Keys addon for Quantum?

Help

Hey guys, first and foremost sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I couldn't find it right away.

As a recent convert back to Firefox, I'm really glad I did the change. The only problem I have is that "Streamkeys" seems to be dead, the Chrome store link isn't working, so I can't use Foxified on it. And both Chrome's and Firefox' Media Keys don't work, the former because it's to pay for, the latter isn't available for Quantum.

Is there any way around for the Media Keys addon to work on Quantum?
Are there maybe other options I just am too blind to see, other add-ons that do the same?
All I really need is to use my keyboard media keys to control e.g. YouTube playlists. But since I'm a total nub in scripting, I hoped you guys would have some ideas.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

Bumping this for a solution as well. Was so great to use pandora without having to Alt-Tab out of games

Bump. We need this! I don't like alt-tabbing while working on hw. I prefer to listen to Pandora, and use my media keys to adjust.

Bump. Same. This is a problem.

And the lack of Chrome-style omnibar, where you can just type the first letter of a URL and hit tab to search the domain. E.g., "Y" + tab and you're searching youtube.

This feature is in Firefox, actually. They just do it slightly differently. You can right click on any search field and save it to be used with a keyword, it just saves it as bookmark. I've got a bookmarks folder, not in my bookmarks bar, full of these search hotkeys. You can edit the URL that it is going to look at also.
