Facebook's video play has a massive fatal flaw. If the video loses focus, it automatically pauses. Yup, this means absolutely ZERO multi-tasking at all. You're forced to watch the video and nothing else. This is especially frustrating when having multiple monitors. I do a lot of batch work which requires interaction once every 20 seconds or so to launch a new script. It is easy for me to watch a video and keep an eye on the production screen at the same time. Simply clicking on that second window kills the video I was watching on FB.
Most of the videos I'd be watching through FB are individual's streaming doing creative things like DIY tutorials n shit. With both YouTube and Twitch being more user-friendly streaming services, this absolutely kills the desire to even touch FB's streaming options.

Maybe you can use a nested X server to contain the facebook browser.
