Firefox vir Android Community Forum

My Galaxy S24 is continous vibrating (every 0,5s circa) while a video is playing on Firefox for Android Browser. Its embarassing. Can you help me? It is all at the latest version, Android and Firefox. The issue was since months, now i cant ignore it anymore. Greets Kevin

When I try to play whatever video on X in Firefox Nightly mobile, it just shows sequences of solid colors. Audio is still normal.

The issue happens for both GIFs and Videos This only happens in Firefox Nightly. In Firefox, the videos can be seen just fine.

I'm using Galaxy Buds 3 Pro on Firefox youtube, not the youtube app, because I simply enjoy firefox. When I close the screen it stops playing, I pinch the earbud it starts playing after the music finishes playing the browser app crashes. So I installed this extensions and it fixed this issue for me : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/

So pinching functionality works for play/stop but double pinch for skipping to the next video or song does not work. Also 3 pinch as well for rolling back previous video.

Is this a compatibility issue? If yes can it be done for us to enjoy firefox with galaxy buds 3 pro ?

Hi Mozilla Support, I’m running into a recurring issue on Firefox for Android when watching videos. Whenever I have a video playing in one tab (HLS or DASH streams) and I switch to another tab for a few seconds, returning to the original tab causes Firefox to freeze or reload the page entirely.

What I’ve observed:

The video player freezes or shows a black screen when I return to the tab

Sometimes the tab reloads on its own and the video restarts from the beginning

Happens on both Wi-Fi and mobile data

Tested with multiple streaming sites, including our own (https://xupertvhd.co) app’s web player

Clearing cache and disabling add-ons didn’t resolve it

Using the latest version of Firefox for Android

I’m trying to understand:

Is this a known issue with Firefox’s background tab behavior or media playback engine?

Is there any setting that prevents Firefox from suspending or unloading media tabs?

Would enabling “desktop mode” or changing the media hardware acceleration setting help?

I can share logs or specific URLs if needed. Thanks!

Hello. For about a month or 2 videos on my mobile browser won't play with sound and sometimes they play without sound. The same situation I have with Brave browser. I tried Vanadium and IronFox and it works fine there. I really don't know what's wrong and how to fix it.

Hi, how can i disable background playback, when the browser is closed and the screen of the device is off? For example, when I'm watching a YouTube video, then I close the browser and turn of the screen of galaxy s10 ultra, the audio continues playing on the background while the browser is closed and the screen is off. I don't have the kind of problem with other browsers. I tried all of the settings, but didn't find anything in the settings thatt can disable the background audio. The only way to stop the background audio playing is by forced closing of browser or manually stopping the video playback on the YouTube video itself.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using a oneplus open with firefox mobile. I have 1gb down wifi 6, and 5G ultrawide. Whether I use bluetooth with my oneplus buds. Android auto (wired or wireless) I will get audio stutter from YouTube videos. No other apps running the in the background. Not using bluetooth, the audio issues go away. Opening videos in other non-firefox derivatives will not have the issue. I've tried ice Raven, waterfox, nightly firefox, and Firefox beta. ALL of these browsers will have the same audio issue. I have tried chrome, and it does not have the same issue. Is there any ideas for this fix? Spotify does not have the issue either. It does not matter what apps run in the background.

I tried talking to my doctor through Dokotela on Firefox and have a video call. I can see and talk myself fine but her video is always still loading and a yellow circle is at the bottom right corner of the screen.

It worked fine before a month ago, but this month, nothing has changed and it is still not working correctly.

I use Firefox on an android phone.

As the title says. In several recent versions of Firefox on Mobile, the media playback is broken in the way that every few seconds there's a small "lag" (distortion) in the audio. It happens with any audio on any page, including audio in a video. lt is also worth to mention that I use Bluetooth headphones (Pixel Buds Pro 2). Other browsers (Chrome, Brave) do not have this issue. I can't figure out in which version it broke.

When I connect my Bluetooth earbuds to watch a video on Firefox browser it works fine. But when I disconnect my Bluetooth ear buds the video stops playing and cannot be played through the phone anymore.

I refresh the page, choose another video, close the tab, open a new tab and now the video does not even play at all.

Phone: Nothing 3(a) Headphones: Nothing ear (a) When using YouTube (phone speaker) all runs smoothly. But when using earphones videos desync and stutter very badly. My extensions are "ublock origin" and "privacy badger" Any help or suggestions would be welcome
