Firefox ar Android Community Forum

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

KR CJAB

Issue description: Firefox for Android stops playing audio and video in the background whenever I switch to a new tab or move the app to the background.

This happens on multiple websites such as YouTube,YouTube Music, Spotify Web Player, and other media streaming sites. As soon as Firefox is not in the foreground, playback pauses automatically. this issue persist in every media playing sites.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Firefox on Android 2. Play any video or music (for example on YouTube or Spotify web) 3. Open a new tab or switch to another app 4. Audio/video stops immediately

Expected result: Media should continue playing in the background, similar to other browsers or previous Firefox behavior.

Actual result: Playback stops as soon as Firefox loses focus or is sent to background.

Additional information: - Happens every time - Tried restarting phone and reinstalling Firefox - Battery optimization settings disabled for Firefox - Issue does not occur in other browsers
