Feature Request: Built-in Background Play for All Video Platforms (No Desktop Mode Needed)
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
