Firefox עבור Android Community Forum

Since today all embedded videos online are turned upside down. Time, controls and subtitles are still fine though. And also have an issue scrolling websites. Scrolling works just fine as long as i start scrolling when nothing is moving. If the screen is already scrolling slowly and i start to scroll more the screen freezes until a second or do after i let go.

Tried restarting phone and clearing cache Nothing changed as far as I'm aware. It's only firefox. Everything else is fine

So I really like using Firefox for YouTube

Issue is: If I have my video on fullscreen And I lock the screen

When I unlock my phone, Firefox is stuck in landscape mode

At this point only 2 options: Scroll back (sideways) to video to re-fullscreen, then un-fullscreen Close Firefox and open it again.

I have auto play off so it happens a lot at the end of vidéos

Thx

Hi all.

I use Firefox as my default browser and I listen to different radio stations that have no app available (they only broadcast over web).

While playing them over Firefox, if I happen to have google maps open for directions, the sound on Firefox won't dim at all whenever Google maps is giving me any instructions and both sounds (Firefox and Google maps) will overlap.

This doesn't happen with other apps like Spotify, which dims the sound perfectly fine with every interactions from Google maps.

I've busted my brains trying to figure this out unsuccessfully.

You guys happent know how can I fix this, please?

Ty!

If possible, please fix the bugs in the update which disabled my ability to enjoy using firefox. I used to use Firefox to listen to YouTube to get past the ads and I could turn my phone off with Firefox continuing to run in the background allowing me to continue listening. after an update to Firefox occurred, the Firefox app would stop running in the background when I turned the screen off on my new Samsung phone.

I connected my blutooth headphones, my video wouldn't load. Then I switched to a different tab, it only ever showed the background color, not even a loading bar. This happens for every tab. The same thing happened last night with my wired headphones.

I used to be able stream music at "Classicalcalifornia.org" formerly "KUSC.org". But it hasn't worked for some months now. I'd love to see it working again. I don't have any other problems with streaming audio on any other station. This problem occurs with Android Firefox. Thank yo7 for your excellent web browser -Vince Marshall

For the past.. month I would say, any time I try to use Youtube on my Firefox Browser it nearly always switches over to landscape mode after watching a video. It doesn't matter whether my phone screen's auto rotate is on or off it still does it. Yes. I already tried to turn my auto rotate on to switch it back to potrait mode, it still won't work. The only solution I currently have is closing Youtube all together from my Browser, which really REALLY sucks!!

Can someone PLEASE look into the glitch?!

Facebook messenger won't work with Firefox for Video and Audio calls. How can it be made to work, even if it involves plugins or even spoofing a different browser?

The problem is that whenever I use some website like a streaming website I just cannot dream something like I have get into the home screen like I can't charge a lot of movies choose a lot of movies not charge our movies so and when choosing movies for example I just know he is not click the movie and when I'm watching it like I am at the place we in like you know Boss play That's action it is not work I mean it does not work

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

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?

thank you

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

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

There are multiple audio tracks coming from the video playing on X. The sound of the same video is repeating. The sounds of the same video are all jumbled together.
