Firefox has given the chromecast support to the Firefox nightly build. Mozilla engineer Lucas Rocha took to Google+ to share the news, showing off a video casting test page with a few embedded videos ready for your casting pleasure.
Of course, the big catch for now is that cast support is currently confined to the development builds of the browser and not included in the versions on the Play Store.
If you have a Chromecast lying about and an Android device you don’t mind side-loading an APK on, using the nightly build will give an advance hands-on with the feature ahead of the rest of the world.
To get everything up and running on your end, just head over to the Firefox nightly page and download the APK. After that, this video casting test page makes for an easy place to verify if everything is working. If the Chromecast icon appears and your device shows up in the Cast to Device pop up, you know you’re good to go.
