YouTube has blocked it's videos with an Adblock notice even after all such adblocks were removed. After removing my History and then my Cache, the Adblock notice reappeared blocking any video that I might try to watch. This has been happening all week, I called Apple five times and the final call ended by telling me they had no further ability to help me with such a software issue. This is no way to treat a satisfied customer, I listen to music to meditate each morning and now spend hours trying to avoid the blockage before my morning can begin. My days have been miserable as a result. Please help!

Only within Firefox for Android is the Icon for images on my Android 11 mobile, using Gboard keypad, is broken. For several weeks now.

All it brings up is ONLY GIFs options.

Tested upload images to Twitter x via the inbuilt Chrome browser. It worked fine.

Updated Firefox app to the latest. Tried turning off Ghostery add-on. No difference at all.

Any advice please. Seems only a couple of people lately have posted on this issue. But saw similar issue from some years ago.

So, it has to be Firefox but I can't see anything in its settings i may have changed wrongly. ?. Thx kindly & have a nice evening or day, Karen.

I'm experiencing a number of issues with videos not playing at all. I could do a search for something, and I'll either find images or videos to help with what I'm working on or I'll look up video tutorials for how to do things, or just any random videos. But the videos just won't play. Instead, the page just reloads back to the same page and same screen where there's a play button, and the videos WON'T PLAY.

I think YouTube is working fine for me, but other sites and videos just don't work at all.

Hi guys,

I used to stream podcasts a lot with firefox, no videos only audiofiles. For a few days the audio stops 60 secounds after the display turns of, no matter if autotimeout or manually. I didnt find a setting that helps with my problem and I tried a clean reinstall, did not work unfortunatly. I am using no addons. Is this a bug or a settings problem?

Hi,

I'm looking for a trick to prevent Firefox mobile to force screen orientation to landscape mode when playing a video in fullscreen mode.

This is an old complaint (see this 2018 bug) but at the time there was a key in about:config to change the behavior ("media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation").

Since "media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation" is now useless (according to this bug) I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance if you have any.

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.

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.

I'm getting pixelated screen on firefox Android when I interact or tap my phone screen. First I thought this was phone issue but I tried three other browsers and it didn't happen.Green pixels surrounding texts and shapes. It's been really annoying.dont know how to solve it.

For several days Firefox Nightly has been stopping and backtracking while trying to play videos from YouTube and from a news site called Topnewsshow. com. I mainly listen to these sites pretty much round the clock to keep up with world events, so I don't know if this would happpen for all sites.

I've checked the service status of my BT broadband, and the engineers say they have not heard of a fault like mine. Though I did think it must be the line (twisted wire from the fibre box), as I've had trouble with it before, I tried with Chrome, and, not only did it play without stuttering, it actually played at high quality, which has not been possible on Topnewsshow for some time, but I didn't suspect the browser until it started stuttering on YouTube too. It may play for a minute or two and let you think it's working, but then it will jump back and start repeating from about 30s before. It can take an hour to get through a half hour video. It has been driving me nuts.

I've tried it on two different phones, one Android 8 and one Android 11, and I've tried clearing the cache, and, eventually, uninstalling, rebooting, and downloading fresh from play store. It is still the same. Firefox has always been problematic on some sites, particularly when trying to complete purchases: often have to switch to Chrome, and never have been able to find why. I use Nightly so that I can use about:config to adjust the zooming settings and pixels per pixel to get the best fits on my unusual aspect ratio keyboard phones (Titan Pocket, Cosmo Communicator), but the fault was the same on the fresh download before adjusting, and adding add ons.

While searching for solutions, I read about Firefox forks, and so tried installing Ice Raven on the Cosmo (not installed on the Titan I'm writing this on yet). IceRaven plays the videos without stuttering and in good quality on YouTube. It still has to play at lowest quality on the Topnewsshow site, but it doesn't keep doubling back the way it does on Firefox. Topnewsshow is Russian, so I wasn't expecting top quality, but it has been very handy for me to listen to US news from the UK.

It's pretty much unbearable to have to hear people keep doubling back mid sentence, so I've been surprised not to have found anyone else complaining of this effect. Perhaps it is because I tend to listen to longer content and speech rather than music: people who only listen to short clips may not notice the fault.

it seems that after an update to the firefox android app it seems that the background music stopped working as it should. it does continue playing but it's just that it keep pausing. i am on youTube and this app used to work as long as you don't close the tab it continues playing in the background. and i did not know that firefox background playing issue was an issue in the app. i wish to have the real background playing. i enjoyed using firefox mobile android app but it went downhill. i am so disappointed and i left the app android system: android 12 ram 8GB model name : Samsung Galaxy S10

Hi, I am using Firefox Beta for Android on my android phone. Its OS is Oreo (Android 8). Since Firefox Beta for Android 118.0b2, There is no audio on any website in Beta & Nightly. Firefox Stable and other browsers work just fine. Videos or online audio players work but there is no sound. I tried deleting cache, resetting the app and uninstalled and reinstalled the Beta and Nighty but the problem persists. I have searched online for help but I couldn't find any similar complaints. The audio on my phone works just fine. There is problem only in Firefox Beta (& Nightly) for Android. I don't have any extensions installed. I need your help. Thank you.

When I play a youtube video in the FF Android browser, with the phone held "normally" i.e. longest side of phone held vertically, and I press the little icon in the corner of the video to make it "full screen", the video ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, rotates 90 degrees, which I dont want it to do. I hesitate to call this "landscape" because I'm not rotating the phone.

This behavior is unaffected whether in auto-rotate mode, or portrait mode. Chrome does not have this issue. My phone is a samsung galaxy A12, Android 11, latest FF browser.

Since the recent version update I can no longer view the live video streams on FS1 website. Receiving an error 403.

Please fix. Firefox mobile browser if this doesn't post in the. Correct section.

After updated to Beta v118. no sound. V118 uses FDLIBM. Android 7 device. After 0b1,0b2,0b3 sound still not working

does user has to install FDlibm themself? and how?

Until recently (sorry, I don't know which version I upgraded from), entering fullscreen mode when playing back video (such as YouTube) would automatically force landscape mode, even with auto-rotation disabled. Now, there seems to be no way for me to enter landscape mode while playing back a video, without enabling auto-rotation (which I otherwise always keep disabled).

I realize that the desired behavior here can be subjective, but at least it would be nice if there is/would be a way of configuring this behavior?

I'm on Android 13 (Oxygen OS 13 on OnePlus Nord 2T), with Firefox version 112.2.0 (release April 24 on the play store).
