Firefox for Android Community Forum

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.

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

Android 15

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

• Youtube's video audio playback has a bit of 'choppiness' on it, there was this clicking sound everytime. I tested on Chromium-based browsers and this issue is non-existent to them, previous versions of Firefox for Android also does not seem to have this issue as per my experience.
• Bing search results on Firefox v135.0.1 for Android also sometimes becomes incompletely loaded and reloading the website does not seem to help, only up to half of the search results for the first page is loaded as the middle to bottom of the website is not loaded anymore.

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.

After the past few updates, I have been noticing choppy audio on Youtube at higher playback speeds. I have tried clearing cookies, cache. The issue persists.

Unrelated but video playback on Youtube at 1080p 2x is laggy, don't know if its my phone

static in youtube music even after I uninstalled reinstalled Etc... also went to YouTube directly and there's no problem there it's only when I go through Firefox.

I watch a youtube vid in FF, while say it's halfway through I close FF. The audio of the vid continues, sofar the only eay to stop it is to restart my phone.

This is new, started happening a few days ago. FF 136
