sticking in landscape view after playing videos
Firefox becomes stuck in landscape view when watching videos. Clears after restart until watching videos again in landscape mode.
Chosen solution
I’ve run into something similar on a company tablet — Firefox gets locked into landscape after playing full-screen videos, especially from embedded players (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
In our case (we use devices for lead review dashboards at Phonexa), we had to adjust auto-rotate settings and also clear cached display preferences. You might also want to check if Firefox’s “Restore session” feature is reloading something weird.
Try disabling hardware acceleration under Settings > Performance, and see if it still happens. That fixed it for us temporarily until a patch came through.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for reply. I cleared the cache and restarted. So far so good, but I have done this before and the problem has returned. I will consider prob solved for now.
The prob was for Firefox focus on Android phone
