Firefox для Android: форум сообщества

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

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?!

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.

Hello. For about a month or 2 videos on my mobile browser won't play with sound and sometimes they play without sound. The same situation I have with Brave browser. I tried Vanadium and IronFox and it works fine there. I really don't know what's wrong and how to fix it.

• Youtube's video audio playback has a bit of 'choppiness' on it, there was this clicking sound everytime. I tested on Chromium-based browsers and this issue is non-existent to them, previous versions of Firefox for Android also does not seem to have this issue as per my experience.
• Bing search results on Firefox v135.0.1 for Android also sometimes becomes incompletely loaded and reloading the website does not seem to help, only up to half of the search results for the first page is loaded as the middle to bottom of the website is not loaded anymore.

Hello !

Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

Hello I switched from Chrome to Firefox two months ago. I noticed from the beginning of using it that it causes a lot of problems playing videos. I tried playing YouTube and Facebook videos, but many times they keep loading but don't play. I confirmed that my internet was fine and even when testing with ad blockers like uBlock turned off, it sometimes failed to play the video. The problem is really annoying for a user, please fix it.

so i use ome tv on Firefox using user agent switcher EXTENSION. but when i connect to ome tv i cant flip the camera option in the down left it wont flip and it lags when connecting with other people please fix or help

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.

After the past few updates, I have been noticing choppy audio on Youtube at higher playback speeds. I have tried clearing cookies, cache. The issue persists.

Unrelated but video playback on Youtube at 1080p 2x is laggy, don't know if its my phone

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
