Title: Please Add Native Background Play for YouTube, Facebook & All Video Platforms

Hi Firefox Android team,

One feature request that would make Firefox Android truly unbeatable:

Built-in Background Play — for all platforms.

Currently, to play YouTube or Facebook videos in the background, users have to manually switch to Desktop Mode, which is a frustrating and confusing workaround. Most users don't even know this trick exists.

Please make background play a native, one-tap feature that works automatically on any video platform — YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and beyond — without requiring Desktop Mode or any workaround.

Brave is already competing for YouTube users. Firefox can win them all by being the only mobile browser that plays any video in the background, natively and effortlessly.

This single feature would bring thousands of users away from premium subscriptions. YouTube Premium's biggest selling point is background play. Firefox can offer that for free, for every platform, to every user.

That is a massive opportunity. Please take it.

Thank you for your time and for building a browser that still fights for the open web.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

Hello :)

I have 2 problems after changing my computer

1) After upgrading my graphics card to a newer 5070 RTX series model, I'm seeing artifacts at low resolutions (~720p). I reinstalled the drivers using DDU, but that didn't help. I only have the problem with Firefox - I tried another browser, and it doesn't have the same issue. (screen image)

2) This problem is more complicated. When watching videos on YouTube, Netflix, or other sites, I experience slight image stuttering, as if Firefox is chopping frames (the sound continues), but a small amount of image stuttering appears.

I reinstalled the system and replaced the motherboard with a Z790 MSI.

When I play the video locally on my computer, there's no problem. I play it in Chrome or Edge, but I can't see it.

In Firefox, the video stutters slightly, about 0.5/1 second. YouTube stats show that I'm dropping frames at random times; sometimes it's 2 frames per 20,000, and sometimes it's 150 frames per 7,500.

I reinstalled the system twice, the drivers are up to date, and the software is also up to date. And I still get the error. I don't know how to fix it.

PLZ NEED HELP ME :))

Can you add YouTube chromium browser feature that swipe down from bottom edge of the video to full screen mode?

When I play a YouTube video, then I don't want it to be landscape Fullscreen. I want it to be portrait full screen mode where I can focus the present video without being distracted by others video thumbnail.

And guys please focus on popular platform to make them free of premium service like YouTube, Facebook and others. That's how you'll get their users who wants to get the premium feature for free like Brave browser focusing YouTube, that's great. But Brave don't have ublock origin extension, that's why I use Firefox. Because Brave Built in ads blocker can't block Facebook ads. Facebook ads only listen the BOSS called ublock origin.

Thanks for your attention

Since yesterday Firefox stopped working with Crunchyroll and Hidive and says, "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio and video on this page. Please try again later."

150.0.1 (64-bit) Bazzite Linux 6.19.14-ogc1.1.fc44.x86_64 bazzite-gnome-nvidia-open:stable v44.20260501.1 Widevine plugin is version 4.10.2934.0.

Additionally, I've disabled extensions as well, cleared the cache. I've disabled play DRM content and restarted the browser before turning it back on. I've changed from my own dns server which I see nothing being blocked to google public dns and saw no difference. Everything was working fine on Wednesday night and stopped on Thursday.

Videos don't play on some sites. CNN. MSNBC. Etc. Everything is on the screen - image, script gets underlined when mouse passes over - but there's no arrow when I pass over the image. What gives? I've tried everything I can think of. HELP!

Thank you.

Hi Firefox Android team,

I have a few feature requests and thoughts I'd love to share:

1. YouTube Portrait Fullscreen Gesture When watching a YouTube video in the browser, please add a swipe-down gesture from the bottom edge of the video to enter portrait fullscreen mode — not landscape. I want to focus entirely on the current video without being distracted by recommended video thumbnails around it. A clean, portrait fullscreen experience would be a huge improvement for YouTube viewers.

2. Focus on Replacing Premium Features of Popular Platforms Firefox has a real opportunity to win users by making premium features of popular platforms like YouTube and Facebook freely accessible through the browser. Brave browser is doing something smart by focusing on YouTube, and that strategy is attracting users. Firefox can go further.

Here is the key advantage Firefox already has: uBlock Origin. Brave's built-in ad blocker cannot block Facebook ads effectively. uBlock Origin can — and it does. This is a major reason many users choose Firefox over Brave. Please double down on this strength, highlight it louder, and build more features around it.

Firefox + uBlock Origin is the most powerful free combination available for users who want an ad-free, distraction-free experience on YouTube, Facebook, and beyond. Own that position.

Thank you for reading this feedback. Keep building for the users who can't afford or don't want to pay for premium services — that's a massive and loyal audience.

Best regards, A Firefox Android user

No audio on Firefox. Google Chrome has sound. Settings at normal audio volumes. Tried computer shut off and re-boot. Tried reload of Firebox.but that didn't help. Had scam attempt just before no audio issue...not sure if that problem.

Greetings! I've been a Firefox evangelist for a long time! I'm having issue with my Dell Precision 5530 pushing Firefox audio to a Bluetooth speaker connected to PC. Others browsers work fine, however FF wants to use the speakers on my monitor, connected via HDMI. I've tried to change several times, however FF does not want to use the BT.

Can you please help?

Thank you kindly!

Recently I had a problem with Firefox opening a second icon on my Macbook. In order to fix it, I uninstalled and then re-downloaded Firefox. I tried to put everything back to the way it was before but I still have a problem with some websites not playing video. Most notably, Instagram and Blue Sky. I have attached screen shots. I have set Firefox to playback videos automatically but this has had no affect. Can anyone help?
