Firefox for Android Community Forum

Im having an issue where i want to watch youtube on firefox with picture-in-picture mode, but the only way ive found to do it is with the "open in pop-up view" option when opening the screen with all my open apps and clicking on the firefox logo.

the issue with this is that the smallest this pop-up view box can get is still much too big compared to how videos display when using picture-in-picture view through the youtube app. and i know for a fact videos playing through a pop-up view browser tab can become the smaller youtube type of player window because ive gotten it to happen by accident 4 times now, but with no idea how to consistently get it to happen.

it seems to occasionally happen when i leave an app with the left button in some way, but like i said its never consistent about when it happens.

the 2 images attached show the pop-up tab version and the youtube picture-in-picture version. its possible to make the one into the other, but surely one of yall knows a better method than fiddling with buttons until it works.

Currently, Firefox for Android can continue to play videos even after you switch tabs or apps. Could you give an option that allows the user to set whether or not the video is played in the background?

When I video chat the person I am talking to (different people) they say it sounds like buzzing or vibration. Can anyone help me fix this. Also they can see me if it makes a difference.

I watch a youtube vid in FF, while say it's halfway through I close FF. The audio of the vid continues, sofar the only eay to stop it is to restart my phone.

This is new, started happening a few days ago. FF 136

Hi, so I've been having Audio "Popping and Crackling" while using sites like YouTube. At first I thought it was earbuds going bad. But after listening to audio in different apps the sound bug was not present. There's something wrong with audio in this bulid of

Firefox for Android 135.0 (Build #2016070975), hg-17c38d56ca55+ GV: 135.0-20250130195129 AS: 135.0.1

• Youtube's video audio playback has a bit of 'choppiness' on it, there was this clicking sound everytime. I tested on Chromium-based browsers and this issue is non-existent to them, previous versions of Firefox for Android also does not seem to have this issue as per my experience.
• Bing search results on Firefox v135.0.1 for Android also sometimes becomes incompletely loaded and reloading the website does not seem to help, only up to half of the search results for the first page is loaded as the middle to bottom of the website is not loaded anymore.

static in youtube music even after I uninstalled reinstalled Etc... also went to YouTube directly and there's no problem there it's only when I go through Firefox.

Hello, after updating the mobile Firefox to version 135, I encountered a problem. When I start speeding up video playback on YouTube, a clicking sound regularly appears, as if it’s a micro-stutter in the audio. I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser, and the issue persists even on a clean browser with no extensions. A similar issue also exists in the beta version of Firefox 136 and the nightly version 137, which I installed for testing without making any changes. To check, I installed Firefox 134 again, and the issue does not occur there. My phone, the Tecno Pova 6 Neo, is relatively powerful with an 8-core processor at 2.2 GHz and 8 GB of RAM. Operating system HiOS 14 on Android 14. Could you help me? Thank you.

Starting today, YouTube on Android Firefox using below version of Firefox, the audio distorts and has a continual popping clicking on each word of an audio podcast when you speed up the YouTube video to 1.5 or 1.75 prior to today it was fine ... The audio is still understandable but distorted when using one of these speed up settings

Using the Chrome browser, everything is fine on the speed up settings on YouTube.com

Android 15

136.0a1 (Build #2016067423), hg-abc92a419107+ GV: 136.0a1-20250112090142 AS: 136.20250110050330

When listening to YouTube in the background, sound is distorted and stutters frequently, which makes it pretty much unusable. Audio is okay when Firefox is in the foreground, but as soon as I lock the phone, audio stutters appear.

I found one fix on Reddit, disabling HD sound in developer options, but I was unable to try it since nobody explained how to get to these developer options, I wasn't able to find that setting myself.

It started happening since 135, was in beta as well. I opted out of beta because of it, but it came on stable release as well so now both beta and stable versions has this issue.

Has anybody encounter that or have fix?

The latest update of firefox 135.0 for Android has audio issues. When I listen to music on bandcamp or you tube the audio makes a crackeling sound with sporadic drop outs. My wi fi is a very stable fiber optic provider, I did restet the router and run speed test to double check. Not a problem with my Bluetooth headphones since I re paired them. I also re installed Firefox to no avail. Samsung internet has no audio issues currently. I turned off u block origin also. It seems to be isolated to firefox version 135.0. My system is Android 14 with ui 6.1 on a Samsung a23 5g. I have seen other users complain about this with no real answer. Spent a good part of the day trying to figure it out.

Audio in firefox (for android) is crackling when using headphones, no matter what the type (mp4, mp3). Already tested this on the newest version of: normal, beta, nightly and focus. I think on nightly it happens less, but instead there is also a bit of stuttering

I don't think it's the phones or headphones fault since audio from other browsers (Chrome, Brave, DuckDuckGo) or apps (YouTube, Spotify) works perfectly fine. It doesn't occur on PC, so it's probably only the android version.

Details:

• Phone - Samsung Galaxy A54
• Headphones - WF-1000XM5
• Firefox versions: 135.0; 136.0b5; 137.0a1

After the past few updates, I have been noticing choppy audio on Youtube at higher playback speeds. I have tried clearing cookies, cache. The issue persists.

Unrelated but video playback on Youtube at 1080p 2x is laggy, don't know if its my phone

Hi, I think there is a connectivity or audio code problem because when I'm using YouTube on Firefox browser there is a crackling sound on all videos (I am using smartphone and Bluetooth headphones). On Chrome, it is not present. Please fix it.

When i watching video on any site at speed 1.5-2x, sound starts to cut out as if RAM is loaded. It started literally the other day, during this time I did not install new applications, even on the contrary, I deleted some, reinstalled firefox, but this did not solve the problem. Version 135.0 (Build #2016070975)

The latest version (134.0) suffers from glitchy/choppy audio while using Bluetooth to listen to YouTube (does not happen without Bluetooth). I can say for a fact that this is an issue with the version, because manually downgrading to 133.0 solved the problem immediately! I think this is quit a major issue for many users and needs addressing promptly (As of now my fix is simply to stick to the older 133.0, which is a shame...) Thanks!
