[Firefox Android] YouTube doesn't turn off the screen after video is over

I used to put a YouTube video with autoplay turned off, so whenever I fell asleep, the screen of my phone would turn off when the video was over.

Suddenly, some weeks ago, whenever the YouTube video stops, the screen remains on. And it drains the battery all night long.

I already completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and also tried the Video Background Play Fix add-on, but this problems persists, and it's ONLY on YouTube.

What can I do?

With the removal of a 'speed dial' from the recentish big update of Firefox for Android I thought I could use the Shortcuts (on the somewhat limited homepage options) to do the same job.

But these don't seem to sync with Firefox for Windows and there's no Shortcuts option in the sync menu. I switch between two platforms a lot and having those shortcuts sync is really important as I add pages for looking at at different times on different devices.

I *know* I could use bookmarks, but that's another couple of clicks every time I want to go to a webpage - over the course of a day that could be hundreds.

It's used to be possible to have a syned homepage in Firefox for Android. It's still possible in Vivaldi, Opera & Brave. But I'd like to use Firefox.

Anyone any info on how I can sync the homepage Shortcuts across Firefox for Android and for Windows?

Or is there another way of having a synced speed dial-style homepage on Firefox on different platforms?

The firefox app always rotates to landscape mode if I turn my phone. I can find a setting that locks the screen for the phone itself, and it appears to stop other apps from rotating, but firefox doesn't seem to care if I have screenlock set to on and just keeps on rotating.

Hi, I'm trying to use auto-fill in other apps on my android device for other android apps and it isn't letting me signing using this utility.

I turned on the option in Firefox browser and also permit the app to auto-fill in other app. but still when I'm trying to log into other apps in the login window first it shows me small popup called "unlock Firefox" and when i click it, it isn't working. The app isn't filling up my credentials in other apps which is also frustrating. i don't want to store my credentials in multiple apps that's why I want to use Firefox.

Let me know what I can do best to help to resolve this issue.

So I have installed Firefox on my Galaxy S20 Plus running Android 12. All permissions are granted and everything is working except the camera. When testing it with https://webcammictest.com/ it ask for permission to use the camera and mic. I of cause allow the use and afterwards it says: The device is not found.

I have tested the mic alone and it is working. The test site is also working in Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi and Brave. So chromium browser do not have any issue with the camera or mic. I have also tried other tests sites with the same result.

I first noticed it when I had to call my doctor which sent a link to a site with camera feedback on. I was surprised and stressed about it wasn't working. Having a doctor waiting and a sick child, while installing Chrome to get it working, was not a fun experience.

Why has the option to print STILL not been added back in? (January 2022, version 96 for Android) Why was it removed to begin with? Seems like a key feature for a lot of people. No plugins or add-ons for it either. Once I switch, I won't be back.

So I usually read long books that are only divided in chapters online, so no page numbers, using the reader mode in dark mode to make it nicer to read. The problem is that it does not save where I stopped on the page last time while reading like firefox used to as far as I remember. This makes things annoying as I need to remember and find where I stopped reading. Again, long browser pages with no page numbers to remember. I don't even close the pages on my phone and it happens both when I close the browser or just minimize it. I remember that it used to save it without problems. Is this a bug or just a removed feature? Hopefully someone here can help as I didn't find anything helpful via google. If there are more details neededI will add them on request.

Before Firefox for Android v100 it was possible to show only pinned sites in the top sites section in the home screen. Now alongside my pinned sites (currently 3) there are 2 rows of 4 sites and 2 pages. All these other sites are pages related to my work, full of test URLs, 500 or 404 pages... and so on. How do I revert it to the old behavior?

Hello team, I am a web developer and I have recently discovered the superiority of Firefox as a browser with respect to Google Chrome, however there is a fundamental problem that I am having: THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY TO 'PULL TO REFRESH' on Adroid OS. This would not be a problem in the common navigation part since by touching the 3 points I find the option to refresh, however in the PWA there is no such option since it obviously runs a website as an app. This is causing me a lot of problems and I want to ask you if there is something I am doing wrong or if I should recommend the use of PWAs in Google Chrome again?
