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.

Hi,

I have been watching YouTube videos on firefox android and have been clicking ful screen and landscape has been fine. Then over night a few days ago, it stopped. When I turn the phone to landscape, the video sound is playing but the video is blank, with no picture. It is fine in normal portrait just not when I click full screen when it was working.

I've cleared the cache and history, I've even unistalled Firefox and reinstalled it twice, once from the play store and once as the apk but to no avail. I have also disabled adons, tried the picture to picture, and autoplay but nothing works.

Any help to rectify and return my viewing would be appreciated.

Every time I open a video and Firefox the stupid media control opens on my phone and plays the video or music or whatever I clicked on in the background for eternity unless I pause it, but then after a few minutes it just starts playing on its own again. Why is there no option to disable or close the stupid player?

I close Firefox I end the process but yet the stupid sound keeps coming out of my phone even with the screen off all the apps closed.

The only option I have is to hide the media control which then plays the music with absolutely no way for me to stop it. If I click on settings from that window it brings me to a screen where both options are already disabled saying not to use it but it's still opening anyways.

I can only find remedies for Windows or Mac I have not come across any solution for Android. I basically have to restart my phone every time this happens in order to get it to stop.

Hi,

my YouTube play/pause, as well as previous/next video buttons don't work. They're unresponsive to the point where them working is a freak accident. The autoplay, resolution and full-screen buttons are perfectly fine, but trying to tap the one's in the middle is near impossible. Other website players function fine( at least the few I tried), but the websites themselves ( including this one) aren't scaled properly to my resolution. It's zoomed in a little bit too much and leaves off-screen space to the side. Other websites have UI overlap. I've tried a fresh install, but it didn't change anything. Everything works fine on another browser though.

What can I do?

Thanks!

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

I cannot upload any file, neither images nor documents. After selecting a file for upload the download/upload speed is reduced to less than 1KB/s and that's it. I still can send emails with huge attachments without any problem.

Inbuilt video player is too old. Because it's featureless. -10s forward or backward on dubble tab, -2x speed, -Picture in pictur mode. Those need very much while playing video: Whitch is available on chrome. You should add. I can't type bangla on facebook messenger. You should fix it

Trying to upload an "image" to Facebook (I'm fairly sure it doesn't actually matter that it's Facebook) using the latest Firefox nightly build on Android.

When attempting to do so, .jpeg images are allowed - but .png files are greyed out.

Searching online, there's no mention about greyed out images for uploading. Since Facebook does support png images - what is Firefox doing to prevent me from uploading png files, and why?

Hello, I'm a Xiaomi Mi 10 lite and Bose quitecomfort user. When I fast forward the YouTube videos I watch on Firefox, there are annoying crackles coming from the headphones. This does not happen when I watch on Google Chrome. Please advise.

After last update, Amazon pages do not display correctly and prime video error

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 ?

There is a bar now on the side of my phone in landscape mode, it wouldn't be a problem except it is even present during full screen mode for videos. I have tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it still comes up. It's not my phone because this only started happening on here and just started two days ago, before that this was the only browser I used now I have been using other ones to watch videos.

Just downloaded firefox nightly, tried watching some video but i'm not getting any audio, also tried running some web audio test, no audio either.

I have no audio issues whatsoever in the stable version or in any other apps, only nightly.

Android version: 7.1.2

As per title, if I perform a Google search, and leave the results set to "all", the first results shown are images. If I tap on any of those images, Firefox freezes completely. Sometimes it recovers after about a minute but often it requires a restart.

Firefox doesn't play Youtube videos. When opening Youtube website, the loading progress bar stops at around 80% and the video keeps showing the loading circle when pressing 'play' button.

Seems like only the tabs that have been opened for a while are affected. When opening the same video in the new tab, the issue is gone.

When the app is force stopped and started again, the issue disappears and then appears again after some time.

Installed add-ons: uBlock Origin Privacy Badger Video Background Play Fix

The issue persists when all add-ons are disabled. Can be reproduced when using a mobile network without a VPN connection.

I haven't tried to reproduce the issue with all the add-ons initially disabled.

I've found similar issues, that are however not limited to Youtube: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411513 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419131 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1374967

This issue is focused on Youtube, so that hopefully it will be easier to debug.

Thank you for developing and contributing to Firefox for Android. It's a modern and competitive mobile browser. I appreciate your effort!

I turned off audio and video autoplay in the settings, but some webpages still play video and audio without my will. Example: https://www.delfi.lt/ru/news/live/pered-tem-kak-pokinut-litvu-aisty-ispolnili-proshchalnyy-tanec-94267757 How can I block all of the media (audio and video)?

I ve two problems

1) recently i can't play videos on websites, checked i ve most updated app & no adds on & cleared my cache but the problem standstill

2) logging in some applications may require redirection to their site , despite i ve Firefox as my default browser those apps are using chrome instead of Firefox recently

As it says. Maybe a month ago or so the audio stopped working. I know for a fact it used to work because I specifically used ff nightly because it allowed me to play audio in the background.

I changed no settings. Tested on both some video sites I often used to use and also bandcamp. Absolutely no audio. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or need more information.
