While taking my old ipad 2 out of the drawer to watch youtube video it kept crashing while using chrome and opera. Finally, decided to use Firefox and youtube is running great! I know the old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" but couldn't help to resist asking if there is any settings in firefox to optimize watching youtube videos on old iOS devices.

Ads interfering with podcast playback now on iOS

something new is happening where I am opening up a webpage in Firefox to read an article, and my podcast that I'm listening to in the also open podcast app suddenly drops out and music starts playing from an ad on the website, even though I have not yet scrolled far enough down in the article to even see they had much less given it permission to play at me.

Blocking this kind of interference is why I have exclusively used Firefox as my web browser on iOS as well as on my laptop computers. I'm very disappointed to see this and hoping that someone will point out to me a simple change of settings that will keep this kind of random noise pollution at bay.

Hello, I have been using Firefox to access my client's FileStage account successfully for months. A few days ago Firefox started interfering with the display of the FileStage projects. The projects start to display and then go gray and basically lock up. I tried accessing in Firefox troubleshooting mode and had the same problem. I am now having to switch to Safari, which doesn't give me any problems.

The efficiency of this site has gone down since the introduction of some of these ai features which sucks because firefox was literally the only good browser for years. Like why am I using the app and modding the feature off myself. I know the chatbot it toggleable but it just shouldnt be a feature at all. Thats what the search bar is for! Stop putting slop in my stuff please.

Firefox is my favorite Browser because I have been able to customize it tremendously so that things do not buzz and blink and pop up at me, nothing flashes, nothing makes noise unless I deliberately permit it. today I caught Firefox for mobile permitting a video to auto play. I opened a webpage to read an article and suddenly realized that my podcast (from a different app) had been interrupted and now sound was coming from this page (clear from the content of the sound). I literally had not even seen the video in question as part of the page because I had not scrolled down far enough to where it was playing already. And when I had the lock screen on, clicking pause did not stop the video. So Video was playing without my permission, and was ignoring the usual rules of iOS.

I certainly had not clicked on the video or seen any setting that allowed the website to autoplay videos.

And this is not the first time it has happened, but it is the first time that I am positive that I did not do anything to permit this behavior, and that it had to have been the browser automatically playing something on the page. I verified that the same website does not auto play video in Safari. This is a bug in Firefox Browser for iOS .... unless there is some new setting in an updated version of the browser that says 'please bombard me with autoplay at times" which by default was switched on in a recent update.
