youtube will still auto play even I set the auto play off, is this a bug?

how to recreate the bug: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sKZktr08fyY

Whenever I start Firefox Android and go to a YouTube video. Autoplay is enabled by default. I always have to hit the disable autoplay to turn it off. Autoplay set to block audio and video by default in the site permissions. I tried installing the "YouTube high definition" addon which is supposed to allow you to pause autoplay but that doesn't work either. This occurs on both my phone and tablet.

Any suggestions?

Before recent firefox updates, youtube videos were automatically rotated in full screen mode. But now youtube videos are not auto-rotated in full screen mode. I've just wondered if you could solve this problem. Thank you.

cf. I'm using "video background play fix" add-on.

Every time a youtube video is placed on landscape mode on the firefox app of my android phone it becomes a single blurred image with the audio playing as normal.

Youtube seems to work fine on other browsers and I have tried all basic fixes, like deleting cache/data/reinstalling app etc. Appreciate any help.

Edit. Okay I managed to fix the issue so I'm adding the solution here in case anyone runs into this problem. Apparantly youtube playback decided to enable "ambient mode", a feature I didn't even know existed and seems to not play well with a phones resolution.

Just click the settings gear while the video is playing in landscape (mine is on the top right) and disable the "Ambient mode" feature.

Hope this helps.

All sorts of video on my Firefox Android is unable to play, as in they load indefinitely, only show the initial frame and never play. Nothing happens when I tap the play button. The progress bar on videos does move, so it's likely not a connection issue. It's not only on YouTube, any video and stream on any website has the same issue. I have enabled autoplay, deleted cookies, disabled add-ons but nothing helps.

Specs: Android 13 Pixel 5 with latest version of Firefox installed.

Issue: This problem has existed for months for me.

audio stutters or more so swiftly cuts in and out.

Sometimes the video itself stutters/lags.

Taping the full screen icon puts the app in the background. Upon reopening it, the entire app looks like it's hanging off the side of the screen.

Example attached.

I blocked audio and video playback but video and audio start to play on this link https://point.md/ru/novosti/obschestvo/vzletno-posadochnaia-polosa-aeroporta-budet-otremontirovana/

I am unable to play videos through websites.. for example fmovies or solar movies etc.... I can see video is loading but It won't play. Got thi issue from today evening. Any help? Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to play a 360 video I think it uses html5 and webgl. In the desktop version it works perfectly, with the mouse I direct the camera and I have image and sound.

However in the android version I only have sound, the image stays black. I connected the phone with remote debug and this is what I got:

Debug file Mozilla5 Android 13 Mobile rv109 Gecko Firefox114

To play it, I go to the website https://omegaodin.itch.io/00000 I click on "run game" and again on the little play button. Playback starts, there is audio but no picture.

In others mobile browsers as Samsung browser or Chrome, it's working.

I am very novice, but I would like to know the cause and if there is a technical solution that the developer can apply.

Thank you very much for your help.

When I am watching videos in the firefox app, about 70 percent of the time I go fullscreen to watch the video, it will close the app. Not crash, but leave, like I'm hitting the home button. This has been going on for a long time now. Last time I asked for assistance I got "Have you tried closing your other tabs?". I have 12 tabs open. I never have this issue with any other browser. I have 30 tabs open in chrome, with no issues.

Hi i have the video background play fix add on for Firefox but as of the last few days it stops working after a minute or so. I'll play a youtube video and turn off my phone's screen and after a short while it will stop playing, when i switch on the screen and open the app the video will play. This seems to only be with youtube though i tried with a vimeo video and it was fine so i assume this issue is only with youtube on firefox

I have an issue with firefox nightly: https://imgur.com/a/u22dKez It opens youtube video in tab instead of youtube app. But if I refresh the youtube page youtube app pops up.

I tried tuning off and on "open links in app". I have the newest firefox nightly app. My Phone is huawei P40 pro.

When playing a video on YouTube the video is choppy and drops around 2/3 of the frames. This happens on every video that I click on.

I have found that if I double tap to jump back 10 seconds in the video it will no longer drop frames and play smoothly, but if I change the playback resolution it returns to being choppy until jumping in the video again.

I am currently running the latest stable download from the play store, and my phone is a OnePlus 8t.

Add the Play background option to videos and audio, pre-installed in settings, as it is in the Brave browser. The current Background Video Playback add-on does not fully play all video and audio background playback features, it does not fully work. I have submitted an option request in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827371

Last week I could light press on the screen and saved pics and vids from Onlyfans. This week I cannot. Did something change with the new version of Firefox that caused this ?

I used to be able to long press on a video and then get a pop-up menu with the option to save the video. With the most recent versions that doesn't work anymore. It worked fine inversion 115. Please bring that back!
