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.
