Firefox for Android Community Forum

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

When I am watching videos in the firefox app, about 70 percent of the time I go fullscreen to watch the video, it will close the app. Not crash, but leave, like I'm hitting the home button. This has been going on for a long time now. Last time I asked for assistance I got "Have you tried closing your other tabs?". I have 12 tabs open. I never have this issue with any other browser. I have 30 tabs open in chrome, with no issues.

Hello, This may be a wordful but please do consider reading.

Recently im having problems with firefox android. Im on Galaxy Tab S9. When playing youtube videos in landscape mode, there would be elements (thumbnails, texts) overlapping as if they were layered. I tried using different versions of firefox(beta, nightly, fennec) without addons, with default settings and fresh installs but all of them exhibit same problem. I tested on duckduckgo and chrome but theres no distortion. It means that its the problem with firefox.

Another find is that, there is no distortion when im using youtube without logging in. The problem occurs when i log in to youtube. I tried with different youtube accounts and they all have same problem on firefox. Also, when playing videos and if i clear cache and cookies of youtube from address bar, it logs me out of youtube and the distortion is gone as well.

Things I have already tried: 1. Clearing cache, cookies of website, browser. 2. Clearing data, cache of app, uninstalling 3. Using default settings without addons 4. Fresh installs of different versions 5. Deleted firefox folder from android/data/mozilla in hope of clearing corrupt cookies (dunno if really got deleted) 6. Using different account for youtube

Funny thing is problem goes away after logging out of youtube but it shouldn't be a solution. I would appreciate your time, possible solutions for this dumb problem.

Thank You

When displaying an iframe video in a popup, clicking the close button and other click events do not work. This issue only occurs in the Firefox browser on Android, while it functions correctly in the Firefox browser on iOS.

Is this a default behavior.

The upload photo button does nothing... on this page, on Reddit, Facebook too. I've tried clearing cache. I'm on latest android and firefox 124.2.0. I have standard security enabled and permission is set to "Ask" for camera and storage. How do I make this work again?

Hi Guys!

Can high resources eatin' (maybe graphics, IDK) Ads, for Me in the Webside embedded and (sometimes) with 'movie' like movement decorated, automatically get blocked?

My phone runs slow, 'even' with just 1 Tab open and only Firefox Mobile App on the phone active.

Sorry, I can't see the field I type in currently, maybe I writ a bad layout right now, but content matters XD.

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

A recent update has broken the ability to upload images. I am on a Pixel 7. Firefox has full rights. I tried clearing cache. It is not a particular website. This one for instance, allows the option of uploading images to attach.to my question and it doesn't work. Hoping someone has a fix so I can keep using the browser.

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

I used to be able to long press on a video and then get a pop-up menu with the option to save the video. With the most recent versions that doesn't work anymore. It worked fine inversion 115. Please bring that back!

After connecting a bluetooth headset and using Firefox (115.0a1 (Build #2015950435), 1d9511bcc3 + this version so far) to play online video is obviously lagging, not audio and video is not synchronized, is to play a moment to get stuck in a frame like this. My own troubleshooting revealed a problem with Firefox and the encoding format selected for the headset. Currently 1 the problem is only in bluetooth audio encoder selection acc (lhdc also have the problem but the symptoms are not as serious as aac) and triggered in firefox, other browsers can not be reproduced, test redmi k40 and xiaomi 13p also can not be reproduced. 2 after the screen recording is turned on, the problem is obviously lagging. 2 The problem disappeared after turning on screen recording, the screen recording parameter is 1280x720@60 at 32mbps, and the audio source is recorded in the system. Play the video first and then open the screen recording lag disappeared, first start screen recording after playing the video lag does not appear. And no matter what kind of situation screen recording stops lag recovery.

Hello, since the 2 last updates, i lost the ability to see the menu on side of video playing window. Usually it's the list of episodes i'm watching next to the player. It changed since prior last update i've done. Do you know how to change to previous settings please? It render small screen, full screen exactly the same size more or less. It happens on all sites i'm use to visit. I appreciate your time. Thanks a lot C.F

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).

Hi everyone! I’ve noticed that while using Firefox on my smartphone, the audio quality isn’t as clear as it is on other browsers or apps. Has anyone else experienced this? I run a small website calledFix My Speaker, where we help users with smartphone speaker issues, so I’ve done my fair share of troubleshooting on the hardware side. But I’m wondering if there’s something browser-specific that could be causing this audio inconsistency? Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
