Firefox for Android Community Forum

Firefox won't play videos in the background all of a sudden anymore. It doesn't show up in the control panel at all as playing or paused. If I set my phone into desktop mode on YT the videos will play for a few minutes, then stop. I tried reinstalling the app and can't find a solution.

Mozilla goes to sleep after a few minutes with background addon, screen off, after a few minutes.

Also even after the update, after going fullscreen mode vide does not rotate to landscape, with screen rotation locked. everything i just described pertains to youtube. thanks for a dope browser

My Samsung S22 media output tab has recently stopped recognizing when the Firefox browser is playing media (YouTube etc.), causing the pause functionality of earbuds and the ease of pausing without having to open the app to stop working. I'd been using it for months with no issues and I never changed anything. I've tried every setting I could find, clearing the caches of all related apps, and reinstalling them.

When playing a video on YouTube the video is choppy and drops around 2/3 of the frames. This happens on every video that I click on.

I have found that if I double tap to jump back 10 seconds in the video it will no longer drop frames and play smoothly, but if I change the playback resolution it returns to being choppy until jumping in the video again.

I am currently running the latest stable download from the play store, and my phone is a OnePlus 8t.

Unable to remove Playback settings sometimes on YouTube by tapping on 'OK'. Kindly fix the issue.

I can't upload a video here? I hope the. you'll understand with the screenshot.

Device: ROG 5 Browser: MULL latest version.

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.

Hello, for the past month when watching youtube through the firefox app, I am unable to use the media output feature of my phone (galaxy S21 FE) to stop/play videos. So for e.g. I used to be able to minimise the browser and listen to the audio only output. But now the audio stops when I minimise. Other applications are able to trigger the media output so that's not a problem with my phone.

I cannot view CNBC investing club videos (yes, I'm logged in), in Firefox on Android 13 immediately after yesterday's Android update.

Chrome can view videos perfectly.

Firefox should adjust for the latest Android update.

Firefox version 109.1.1 (Build #2015927169), 8f4899e33+

Android build TP1A.220624.014.A136USQU3CVK9

Only within Firefox for Android is the Icon for images on my Android 11 mobile, using Gboard keypad, is broken. For several weeks now.

All it brings up is ONLY GIFs options.

Tested upload images to Twitter x via the inbuilt Chrome browser. It worked fine.

Updated Firefox app to the latest. Tried turning off Ghostery add-on. No difference at all.

Any advice please. Seems only a couple of people lately have posted on this issue. But saw similar issue from some years ago.

So, it has to be Firefox but I can't see anything in its settings i may have changed wrongly. ?. Thx kindly & have a nice evening or day, Karen.

After updated to Beta v118. no sound. V118 uses FDLIBM. Android 7 device. After 0b1,0b2,0b3 sound still not working

does user has to install FDlibm themself? and how?

These "crashes" aren't in the Report, so I'm not sure what to do. I've pressed Quit, I've cleared the Cache (twice), and I've deleted and reinstalled the app. Firefox was working just fine until recently. These crashes only to seemingly happen on YouTube and Tumblr. It closes worse when I have the YouYube in Background Add-on on, but it isn't just because of that. If anyone knows how to fix this, feel free to answer.

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.
