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.

I'm having a problem with playing videos on websites. When I click the expand to full screen button about half the time the full screen video comes up for half a second and then the window shrinks down to a small square on the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. Sort of like when the youtube app minimizes a video. This window is unclickable and also everything at or below it in android is unclickable while it's there. If I click the window button on android and swipe the firefox app up to close it and restart it, Firefox doesn't even close and I can still hear sound from the video. I have to select on the Firefox app again which will restore the full window and then click the full screen button one more time and it will work. This issue is happening on every website I play video on on the Firefox app and it is extremely irritating. I'm about ready to switch to another app if this can't be solved, but Firefox is the only browser that allows ublock origin so I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

I properly set the site permission to "block audio and video" auto play, but still a lot of website are able to auto play and at full audio volume.

Is it possible to stop them? - Android 11 Redmi note 11

Thanks

Streaming video on websites using Firefox or Firefox Nightly like YouTube, Tubi TV etc on my smartphone running on Android plays in a low, sluggish frame rate that can be hard to watch. When using a chromium powered web browser for media consumption like Kiwi Browser, the same video on the same player from the same website plays perfectly smooth every time.

The only extension I have installed on both the Firefox and Firefox Nightly apps on my phone is UBlock Origin.

Does anybody know of any settings or optimizations I can make that can help smooth out video streaming playback on Firefox?

Using the Android app, 105.1.0 (Build #2015904299), if watching a video in the browser, I occasionally notice video/audio desync issues, probably a few hundred ms but very noticeable nonetheless. Whenever it occurs, I try other browsers but never encounter the issue. I have disabled all plugins, I have cleared the app cache, but I'm not sure what else to do. I'm usually wearing Bluetooth headphones when watching videos, I'd have to do something testing to see if it occurs without. Googling the issue, I can't find solutions specific to the Android app. Are there other things I can do to troubleshoot this, or a known solution? Can provide any additional info requested.

Dear Firefox Group! I Have two problems with my Firefox... The first, is with YouTube... Whan I view video in Landscape mode, can't exit from it, to "classic" portrait mode... Firefox continue everything in Landscape mode... The second problem is the slow website loading, with good Cellular, an good WiFi connection too.... May the problem is cooperation of the latest phone update and Firefox...

Hello, when using Android Firefox to view my Hotmail emails, there are some emails that display all content, but there are some emails where all images are not displayed. (Office Depot emails are not displayed). They come up correctly in Chrome. Is there a workaround or solution? John

This website, and others like it, have pop-ups in the page that firefox plays a strumed-chord notification sound for: https://dcist.com/story/22/12/12/weekday-events-12-12-2022/

I've gone into site permissions and default blocked audio and video autoplay, blocked notifications, everything is set to ask to allow orblocked. The website does not have exceptions. I've tried blocking all notifications in Firefox settings and in my android app permissions for Firefox. Nothing will stop this obvious trill when popups are triggered.

How do I block this noise?

When I try to play Amazon prime videos it tells me I need to update my Firefox browser but I have 108.0.1. I’ve cleared cache and cookies, and restarted multiple times.

Hi, Team! I've been experiencing FFF crashes for a while. It happens occasionally when I'm watching YouTube videos in FFF while using AppSwitcher (or checking Notification Center). Iphone X, FFF 108.0.

I've just turned on both SendUsageData and Studies switchers to help you to dig in (if that helps).

Cheers,
