Last night I updated my iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 26.1

Since the upgrade I'm unable to have Firefox play audio for a music stream I listen to when the phone goes to sleep/lock or if I use the app switcher to switch to another app, like Maps.

This wasn't happening yesterday when I was using my phone and listening to the same audio stream in my car with Maps open for navigation.

Hello !

Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox or Google problem, I'm guessing Firefox because it doesn't happen in Chrome.

Every time I try to login to google in Firefox it auto logs me into a specific account, I don't mean it is already logged in, I'm logged out and where the blank field is to enter your account username(email) the drop down pops up and shows all the gmail accounts and picks one on its own then procedes to the next page for the password on its own. It's like someone took control of the mouse and was doing it for me. Really pisses me off because I'm trying to login to a different account and it chooses the same one every time and I can't choose. If this is some kind of auto login feature please tell me how to turn it off.

Only on firefox, the music on apple music keeps changing volume. I can hear it sound fine for a second but then it changes the volume to around half of what its meant to be. I dont see any settings to change it, its fine on other browsers, im genuinely unsure of what to do.

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

I am using FF desktop. All of a sudden, I get no sound through my laptop speakers when trying to watch videos (on YT and FB for example). I still get sound if I use external speakers through the 3.5" jack. I still get sound through other browsers, no matter if it's through the laptop speakers or external ones. So, it is definitely an FF problem. Sound works fine on all other media files on the laptop. Refreshing FF didn't fix it. Nor did reinstalling or restarting the laptop. I tried changing the autoplay settings as suggested in the help article, but still no laptop audio via FF. How can I fix this? Thanks

This is a functional bug, not a settings issue. Block media autoplay in Firefox cannot work, after I right-click on a blank area of the page and scroll.

For example, I saw a post with a video on x.com, and the site was set to prohibit automatic video playback. But when I right-clicked on the webpage and then scrolled the page with the mouse, the video started to play automatically, which means that the function of prohibiting video playback was invalid. Very strange.

Firefox version: 141.0.3 (private-browsing No extensions are running) OS: Windows11 Enterprise 26100.4946

Initially connects video playing to Headphones via Bluetooth then audio stops. Reloading doesn't help. But the same works perfectly on other browsers. Problem is with Firefox audio setting. The problem started only a week ago for firefox

Samsung Frame 85" 2023 with GTX 1050Ti GPU, HP G4 SFF, i5-8500, Win 11 Pro 26100.3194

TV signal, and audio cuts out (black screen) when using mouse arrow to drag scroll in side bar. Also gives a loud audible "click" as sound is temporarily cut out. ( Most probably whole HDMI signal is cut)

Black screen bug happens randomly with You tube with no mouse or keyboard action, but 100% repeatable with this website when scrolling :

Please advise how to fix

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

Hello! from this morning and alongside a new Firefox update i've been having graphical artifacts on Youtube/Facebook/Netflix. I've followed all the standard steps.

Disabled Hardware Acceleration. Updated Video Drives. Run FF in Safe Mode without plugins. Disabled Router level VPN and Ghostery.

Any ideas?

I'm running FF135.0 Geforce 572.16 Drives (30th Jan) 3070TI. Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

Здравствуйте. Последнее время заметил следующую проблему. При открытии некоторых сайтов, где есть видео или транляции, колесиком мышки открываю нужные видео или трансляции в новых вкладках. Ситуация следующая. Если не спеша открыть несколько вкладок, например 5, после перейти к ним, то нужно нажать в центре видео/трансляции "плей", чтобы видео стало работать. НО, если открыть вкладки (так же 5 или более) и сразу же переключаться на них, то видео будет автоматически стартовать. Раньше так и было при добавлении нескольких вкладок с видео, а после переключения на них, видео сразу открывалось. Теперь - нет. В настройках ничего нигде не менял, проверял как на версии браузера для пк на 133..., так и на последней 137... Отключал все дополнения, в настройках сайтов давал разрешение для автовоспроизведения аудио и видео. Хочу отметить, что такая проблема на многих сайтах. На некоторых же всё работает как и раньше. Также отмечу, что переустанавливал браузер с полной очисткой. Железо у пк хорошее, озу 32 гб. Никогда проблем такого рода не было. Прошу помочь с решением проблемы.

I've recently done a clean reinstall of Windows 11 and have noticed that, only for Firefox (134.0.2, build ID 20250120135430), a few videos playback without any audio, yet the same videos play with audio when using edge as a comparison. Most (if not all) of these videos did play with audio in Firefox prior to this reinstall.

Firstly, I'm pretty sure this is not a windows sound mixer issue since many videos on the same page and tab play back with audio just fine in Firefox. The same goes for it not relating to the Firefox setting 'Speaker selection', under (burger) > settings > privacy & security > Permissions because videos of different formats (or using different players) on the same page play back audio fine. The tab is not muted. Again, some videos on the same browser tab play audio fine; some of a particular format or player only play the video, while missing the audio (and where Edge plays the same video with audio).

Another common and potentially relevant issue I've seen is that, this being a 'Windows 11 N" install, it was initially missing the settings > system > optional features > Media feature pack, but that is now something I've successfully added. I should add that windows did report problems when I initially tried to add the media feature pack but, after a very long delay, it eventually appeared to succeed when I ran a couple of DISM incantations that I think ended with - "dism /online /add-capability /capabilityname:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0"

I have the 'Play DRM-controlled content' setting enabled.

Comparing the Firefox vs Edge video playback on this video test page - https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/ I get the following results (don't know how to get it formatted/aligned correctly, sorry) -

                           FF vid    FF audio    Edge vid    Edge audio
av1-opus-sita.webm          Works     Works       Works       Works
vp9-vorbis-spring.webm      Works     Works       Works       Works

avc-mp3-sita.mov            Works     Works       Works       Works

And perhaps also relevant is that there's also a difference in the audio-only samples further down the table on the same page -

                   FF audio   Edge audio
audio-sample.mp3    Works      Works
audio-sample.weba   Works      Works
audio-sample.ogg    Works      Works
audio-sample.opus   Works      Works

audio-sample.m4a    FAILS      Works
ac192.mp3           Works      Works
spoonradio-hd.aac   FAILS      Works
audio.opus          Works      Works

Also, every 'v.redd.it' / reddit-video-player video plays the video fine but has no sound when using Firefox but plays both sound and video fine with Edge. Here's one for example - https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1i7y1nr/rock_paper_scissors/

I've seen lots of similar (but not identical) issues on Firefox video with no audio problems with suggestions a few things to try. In addition to what I've already mentioned above, I've tried the following without success -

- Restarting Windows - Restarting Firefox - Restarting Firefox with addons/extensions disabled - 'about:support' > Refresh Firefox - 'about:support' > Clear startup cache - (hamburger) > more tools > task manager > (click the little profile icon for the page playing the video) - I've checked the settings suggested here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues#w_check-some-firefox-settings

I realise it may be possible to side-step this problem by flailing around with more drastic work-arounds like trying a clean re-install of Windows or a full uninstall and clean of Firefox, but that doesn't really help figure out the problem, which leaves the possibility it could easily happen again to me or others when it might be something that can be more properly fixed or guarded against in Firefox itself, so I hope someone can suggest what might be done to home in on identifying the cause of the problem and so learn whether a more precise fix can be employed.

Firefox is no longer playing audio from the Internet. I am running Firefox on Windows 11, and have the latest update installed (10/29/25). What happened? How do I fix this.

I am 99.5% sure this is a Firefox issue, as I have no problem playing audio files stored in my computer, and no problem playing Internet audio using Chrome or Edge.

Help!
