I just updated Firefox to version 135.0 on my mobile and now I get this really annoying thing:

Everytime I open a tab to go on the YouTube website, it asks me if I want to leave Firefox and use the YouTube app. Every single time. And it even launched it once without asking me.

I don't want to use the YouTube app, how can I make this stop?

Have a good day!

I just need how to make use of the hardware decoder on bilibili.com when I watching videos by Firefox android

I have tried to solve this problem by using AI,but I have followed the steps given by Deepseek, I have made sure my device are support HEVC and AVC hardware decoding (Snapdragon 870), I also tried to switch my UA to Safari 18, MacOS X, it couldn't help either,but I do the same steps on Edge Canary it works. It bothered me a lot,every time I switched the quality options to 8k,the video playback becomes very According to edge://gpu, I'm very sure 8k video hardware decoding is available on my device. Thank you weather you can or cannot solve my problem.

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.

When listening to YouTube in the background, sound is distorted and stutters frequently, which makes it pretty much unusable. Audio is okay when Firefox is in the foreground, but as soon as I lock the phone, audio stutters appear.

I found one fix on Reddit, disabling HD sound in developer options, but I was unable to try it since nobody explained how to get to these developer options, I wasn't able to find that setting myself.

It started happening since 135, was in beta as well. I opted out of beta because of it, but it came on stable release as well so now both beta and stable versions has this issue.

Has anybody encounter that or have fix?

Hi. I encountered a problem when browsing previous pagr after google search in android version of Firefox. The procedure for reproducing the problem is described bellow.

Environment: 135.0.1 (Build #2016074239), hg-7c2ff1aa3394+ GV: 135.0.1-20250216192613 AS: 135.0.1 Pixel 6a(Android 15)

Procedure: 1. Search any word(such as "test a") with google. 2. Tap any link showed in searching result. 3. Perform "previous page" gesture(horizontal swipe at edge of the screen), then searching result of "test" is shown. 4. Search another word(such as "test b") with google search bar of google website, not search bar of Firefox. 5. Tap any link showed in searching result. 6. Perform "previous page" gesture(horizontal swipe at edge of the screen).

Expected result: Searching result page of "test b" is shown.

Actual result: Searching result page of "test a" is shown.

Other informations: - This doesn't happen with other searching engine. - This do happen without extensions - This also happen in private session - Clearing cache solve this problem for a while but this happen again soon. - This doesn't happen in PC browsing mode

I encountered the same phenomenon when I searched the word that I've searched before. So I doubt that google search and cache algorithm of Firefox is not compatible.

I look forward to someone's reply or any information.

How in Android to Block/Disable "Stripping"?

I've read that the incidence of a web page removing basic browser elements like the address box and ellipsis menu from the UI is called 'stripping.' I'm not sure if that term is accurate, but the phenomenon I just described is occurring more often on my Firefox Android browser. The obvious navigational disadvantages of that arrangement are joined by an inability to save page-specific shortcuts to my phone's screen. The query 'stripping' in this Help Community's search box provided no useful results, so I'm asking here if there's anything I can do in my settings (or by any other means) to block websites from forcing that behavior upon my Android browser?
