So I have noticed it for a couple of years now, and still this issue isn't solved. I am attaching the screenshot. When my phone is in an idle state, the Firefox app is in the background and my screen is switched off. Then the Android device should go into doze mode and save battery, but that doesn't happen due to Firefox. There is an audio wake lock, and it doesn't let the phone go into doze mode. If I always try to close the tabs when I am leaving Firefox, then yeah, it gets solved, but that defeats the purpose of having a powerful smartphone.

When I switch to another app on my phone for 30-40 seconds, the tab that I had open decides that it should refresh. This is super annoying when trying to fill out a form and the information you get from another appz and the form reloads and all the info is gone

I do not know is this from my os or no, but this is an issue that breaks my experience almost all the time, and I am not the only one experiencing it.

Video playback hangs when connecting to Android Auto

From time to time, when while playing YouTube Premium videos in Firefox on my Android Galaxy S26 (same was on S24 before for years) I connect the phone to Android Auto of my Ford Mustang 2024 with USB cable, the playback stops. After that I still can browse the web, but can not play any video until I twice in a row kill and restart the Firefox (loosing all private pages, etc). Disconnect/reconnect of the cable does not help. There are no any errors reported when it happen. It looks as some connectivity or YouTube problem, except the moment I restart Firefox twice everything goes back to normal. Since during that connection the audio is getting redirected to the car speakers, I suspect the problem may be audio-related, but I have no specific evidences. Also since car's multimedia is usually still booting at the time, it takes Android Auto several seconds to start, and I guess some random delays and/or transient errors might happen during that period, that I guess may be not handled properly by Firefox, making it leak some critical resources.

Sometimes (extremely rare) I experience similar video hangs just when switching between YouTube videos without any connectivity changes, but that may be some different issue.
