Firefox for Android Community Forum

Recently (perhaps the last week) I've had an issue where playing a youtube video in fullscreen doesn't fill the screen, instead having significant letterboxing on sides and bottom, in addition to the small amount caused by 18:9 screen. Can't find setting to fix, tried reinstalling and using without account/extensions.

I am using Android 15 on Nokia.

When I switch tabs, the media playback on YouTube stops.

The playback also stops when I lock the screen, even though I am on the YouTube tab. Also, the media player doesn't show on the screen most of the times. Even if it shows, pressing the play button doesn't play the media.

Tried all solutions on the internet, with all settings in place. Only this add-on helped https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/playback-helper-youtube-vimeo/

I was hoping there will be a native fix, than an add-on.

Issue was reported few years back, same as below one https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1412369

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?!

YouTube video takes more time than crome to load and YouTube home page feels very laggy and unresponsive. Background play works for 2-3 minutes than it stops. I am not using battery saver. Overall browsing experience feels a bit Cluttered

From time to time, when while playing YouTube Premium videos in Firefox on my Android Galaxy S26 (same was on S24 before for years) I connect the phone to Android Auto of my Ford Mustang 2024 with USB cable, the playback stops. After that I still can browse the web, but can not play any video until I twice in a row kill and restart the Firefox (loosing all private pages, etc). Disconnect/reconnect of the cable does not help. There are no any errors reported when it happen. It looks as some connectivity or YouTube problem, except the moment I restart Firefox twice everything goes back to normal. Since during that connection the audio is getting redirected to the car speakers, I suspect the problem may be audio-related, but I have no specific evidences. Also since car's multimedia is usually still booting at the time, it takes Android Auto several seconds to start, and I guess some random delays and/or transient errors might happen during that period, that I guess may be not handled properly by Firefox, making it leak some critical resources.

Sometimes (extremely rare) I experience similar video hangs just when switching between YouTube videos without any connectivity changes, but that may be some different issue.

Bonjour, Les vidéos du site Eurosport ne sont pas lues. Affichage d'un message "Une erreur est survenue, merci de recommencer". Le problème n'est pas résolu par la désactivation de Ghostery ni via les paramètres des sites ni après effacement du cache.

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

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?
