youtube full screen auto-rotation

more options

Before recent firefox updates, youtube videos were automatically rotated in full screen mode. But now youtube videos are not auto-rotated in full screen mode. I've just wondered if you could solve this problem. Thank you.

cf. I'm using "video background play fix" add-on.

Is this a question about Firefox on Android ?

If that is the case then we can move the question over to Firefox for Android Support.

Do you have auto-rotate enabled and does it work if you rotate your device ?

1) Yes, my phone is Samsung Galaxy A52s.

2) Right now, if I enable "rotation" in the settings, the rotation works.

But before the firefox updates, the youtube video rotated automatocally in full screen mode without changing the rotation settings. I did not need to enable "rotation" in the settings to rotate full screen video in the past. I don't want to change rotation settings every time I watch video in full screen.

I've been experiencing this too. And am using the Samsung A03s. It started within the past 7 days. Firefox hasn't been rotating video. When I select the auto rotate, it does. But it used to do it automatically without the auto rotate from the notification bar being enabled.
