Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

The latest update of firefox 135.0 for Android has audio issues. When I listen to music on bandcamp or you tube the audio makes a crackeling sound with sporadic drop outs. My wi fi is a very stable fiber optic provider, I did restet the router and run speed test to double check. Not a problem with my Bluetooth headphones since I re paired them. I also re installed Firefox to no avail. Samsung internet has no audio issues currently. I turned off u block origin also. It seems to be isolated to firefox version 135.0. My system is Android 14 with ui 6.1 on a Samsung a23 5g. I have seen other users complain about this with no real answer. Spent a good part of the day trying to figure it out.

Hello, after updating the mobile Firefox to version 135, I encountered a problem. When I start speeding up video playback on YouTube, a clicking sound regularly appears, as if it’s a micro-stutter in the audio. I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser, and the issue persists even on a clean browser with no extensions. A similar issue also exists in the beta version of Firefox 136 and the nightly version 137, which I installed for testing without making any changes. To check, I installed Firefox 134 again, and the issue does not occur there. My phone, the Tecno Pova 6 Neo, is relatively powerful with an 8-core processor at 2.2 GHz and 8 GB of RAM. Operating system HiOS 14 on Android 14. Could you help me? Thank you.

Starting today, YouTube on Android Firefox using below version of Firefox, the audio distorts and has a continual popping clicking on each word of an audio podcast when you speed up the YouTube video to 1.5 or 1.75 prior to today it was fine ... The audio is still understandable but distorted when using one of these speed up settings

Using the Chrome browser, everything is fine on the speed up settings on YouTube.com

When playing back audio via Bluetooth it cuts out and pops every few seconds. This is not a Bluetooth or network issue I have tested that. Firefox app version 138.0.4 Android version 15 on pixel 8

Hi, so I've been having Audio "Popping and Crackling" while using sites like YouTube. At first I thought it was earbuds going bad. But after listening to audio in different apps the sound bug was not present. There's something wrong with audio in this bulid of

Hi recently my phone got stolen and while im unable to afford a new one im using a samsung tablet model SM-T705Y which is not new and only tunning android 6, it cant even get a version of the youtube app that will work so i have to watch them on the website. This was all good until a few days ago when it just started coming up with a error message. Please help. Thanks, Travis.

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

Since today all embedded videos online are turned upside down. Time, controls and subtitles are still fine though. And also have an issue scrolling websites. Scrolling works just fine as long as i start scrolling when nothing is moving. If the screen is already scrolling slowly and i start to scroll more the screen freezes until a second or do after i let go.

Tried restarting phone and clearing cache Nothing changed as far as I'm aware. It's only firefox. Everything else is fine

Audio in firefox (for android) is crackling when using headphones, no matter what the type (mp4, mp3). Already tested this on the newest version of: normal, beta, nightly and focus. I think on nightly it happens less, but instead there is also a bit of stuttering

I don't think it's the phones or headphones fault since audio from other browsers (Chrome, Brave, DuckDuckGo) or apps (YouTube, Spotify) works perfectly fine. It doesn't occur on PC, so it's probably only the android version.

Details:

• Phone - Samsung Galaxy A54
• Headphones - WF-1000XM5
• Firefox versions: 135.0; 136.0b5; 137.0a1

Title: Please Add Native Background Play for YouTube, Facebook & All Video Platforms

Hi Firefox Android team,

One feature request that would make Firefox Android truly unbeatable:

Built-in Background Play — for all platforms.

Currently, to play YouTube or Facebook videos in the background, users have to manually switch to Desktop Mode, which is a frustrating and confusing workaround. Most users don't even know this trick exists.

Please make background play a native, one-tap feature that works automatically on any video platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — without requiring Desktop Mode or any workaround.

Brave is already competing for YouTube users. Firefox can win them all by being the only mobile browser that plays any video in the background, natively and effortlessly.

This single feature would bring thousands of users away from premium subscriptions. YouTube Premium's biggest selling point is background play. Firefox can offer that for free, for every platform, to every user.

That is a massive opportunity. Please take it.

Thank you for your time and for building a browser that still fights for the open web.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

From 3 days ago suddenly I could not play YouTube videos as before (I could still play YouTube live stream) on my Samsung tablet. In the player window it said that there's a play error. Do not know what's the problem.

When listening to YouTube in the background, sound is distorted and stutters frequently, which makes it pretty much unusable. Audio is okay when Firefox is in the foreground, but as soon as I lock the phone, audio stutters appear.

I found one fix on Reddit, disabling HD sound in developer options, but I was unable to try it since nobody explained how to get to these developer options, I wasn't able to find that setting myself.

It started happening since 135, was in beta as well. I opted out of beta because of it, but it came on stable release as well so now both beta and stable versions has this issue.

Has anybody encounter that or have fix?
