Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

YouTube videos are always choppy and laggy when I play them in Firefox on Android.

What happens: Video freezes for a few seconds, audio continues, and the picture is not smooth.

What I expected: Smooth playback.

My internet is fine, same videos work well in Chrome.

What I already tried: 1. Cleared cache and cookies 2. Restarted Firefox 3. Disabled extensions

Please help me fix this.

Thanks.

When joining my daily Google Meet call, the audio is initially fine but when I change tab, change program or do anything other than look at the Google Meet tab, a crackling develops and gets worse the longer the Google Meet tab is not active. If I then switch to the Meet call, it alleviates the crackle but doesn't disappear altogether.

Things i've tried: - different earphones/headphones, bluetooth and wired, Mac's built-in speakers - disabled extensions - I've tried Chrome browser and the call works fine, no crackling whatsoever

Any ideas?

The taskbar (the one with the Start menu) doesn't hide when watching videos in fullscreen mode. This happens on YouTube as well as on any other website. The problem disappears if I run the browser in Safe Mode. It's only Firefox that doesn't work — in Chrome the taskbar does disappear.

For some reason after either a recent Firefox update or a Windows 11 update (genuinely don't recall which) anytime I enter the fullscreen of a video the windows taskbar is still visible, covering up the video player controls. If I enter fullscreen for the browser itself though (tapping f11) and then enter fullscreen on the video this doesn't happen. I've tested this on Chrome and Edge and this behavior happens on neither. Thought this was Youtube only but it also happens on Vimeo and Imgur, so I assume it happens on all video players. Firefox version 156.0, Windows 11 25H2 OS build 26200.9457

Lately, whenever I click into a youtube video from within youtube, instead of Firefox blocking autoplay, it mutes the video but lets it play.

Initially, it was muting EVERY video I pulled up, but messing with my settings has fixed the problem if I click into a youtube video from elsewhere (ex. a google search result), or if I refresh the page. It's super annoying to having navigating youtube be this non-functional right now, though, since everything just silently plays until I catch and unmute it! Any help would be super appreciated!

(I'll attach an image with my current autoplay settings.)

не скрывается панель задач(панель с меню пуск) при просмотре видео в полноэкранном режиме. не работает как на ютубе так и на любом другом сайте. проблема исчезает если запускать браузер в безопасном режиме. не работает только firefox в chrome панель задач пропадает

I get 'you browser cannot play this video" when I try to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on Youtube; what causes this? I use Linux Mint on my laptop.

I also have Opera browser installed; I get the same error using Opera.

Please help. Thanks.

I am trying enable autoplay for website https://www.citiprogram.org and cannot find a way despite instructions.
