I'm using a Huawei P20. I've been using FireFox for a long time mainly for accessing YouTube through the browser. After recent updates when I try to play a video it always appears to be really zoomed-in and completely unwatchable, decided to switch to WaterFox to resolve my issue, but after the last update WaterFox also has the same issue.

Can anyone provide some help with this issue?

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.

Prevent landscape mode auto-rotate when playing fullscreen video

Hi,

I'm looking for a trick to prevent Firefox mobile to force screen orientation to landscape mode when playing a video in fullscreen mode.

This is an old complaint (see this 2018 bug) but at the time there was a key in about:config to change the behavior ("media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation").

Since "media.videocontrols.lock-video-orientation" is now useless (according to this bug) I'm clueless.

Thanks in advance if you have any.

Formatted my phone but playing videos still lags and stutters on Firefox browser on my Samsung. Only happens on Firefox, I've tested on Qwant, Duckduckgo and Brave and this problem doesn't occur. What might be the problem and solution?

It's interesting that sometimes the video plays fine until I unmute it. Sometimes the problem goes away after I stop and play or refresh the page. I often have to play the video on a different browser.

So, videos work fine on other browsers so I discart being a phone problem. But on my other phone this problem doesn't happen with firefox.

I've been for several months looking for help/answer/fix for this issue. And I've been with firefox for ever and I don't mind minor bugs and problems but this is starting to be a bit annoying and more and more I feel like I need to move on to a new browser.

Phone: Samsung S21 Ultra SM-G998B/DS Firefox: 127.0.2 (Build #2016028743) Extentions intalled: ublock

How can I improve audio quality when using Firefox on my smartphone?

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!

I'm getting a black screen while trying to view VR videos from Firefox Mobile.

I've tried VR videos from Chrome Mobile and it works fine there. It also works fine on Firefox Desktop.

So, only Firefox Mobile is having issues with VR videos for some reason.

Not really a question but I don't know where else to report bugs, and the developer suggested I post details here. I don't see a bug report forum.

As of version 130, the youtube mobile website does not render popup and floating menus properly anymore (no issues prior to this). The bar at the bottom of the screen for navigation between home, subscriptions etc will completely disappear at random after watching a video and hitting the back button. Also, popup menus (hide a video/ report a video /ignore a channel etc) will be too low and clip off the bottom of the screen. They are displayed behind the android navigation bar, making the lower options impossible to press, and the touch point is misaligned with the text option (pressing one option will give you the result of another option as though you had pressed that button instead.

These issues occur after watching one or two videos and hitting the back button. Functionality is restored by closing the tab or browser and reopening. Reloading the page does not appear to fix it.

Listening to audiobooks made me notice this problem, often whilst my phone is turned off and the audiobook is playing in the background on a tab on firefox the audio would just stop and i would find either that firefox was still open but unloaded all the tabs, or that it simply crashed. I thought this was a thing that solely happened when playing audio in the background but then i noticed that it is actually a general problem when firefox is kept open in the background. It doesnt happen after a set amount of time, sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes after like 10 minutes that it is kept in the background. How can i fix this? its very annoying.

Landscape fullscreen not taking full screen height

I'm using Firefox Nightly 130.0a1 on Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. When I open a video in fullscreen and it rotates to landscape, there is a large gap between the video and the edge of the screen. Interestingly, this gap is affected by the setting "Customize -> Address bar location" - If the address bar is set to appear on top the gap is on top, and if the address bar is set to appear on bottom the gap is on the bottom. I've included screenshots from both settings. This happens on both YouTube and Dailymotion, so it is a browser issue and not a site issue.

Hello all,

I am using Cambridge Dictionary regularly. In that site, when I try to listen how a word is spelled in the US, the last part of the word is not spelled. For example, I am trying to learn how to say " strut ", in the UK version, I hear it completely. But for the US version, I hear "stru" with no t sound. This happens for each word and this problem only occurs in Mozilla Firefox both in Android and on Windows. Is there a way to solve this or I will completely stop using Firefox as I need to use this dictionary very regularly.
