Firefox for Android 150.0 Build 2016155439 OS Android 16 Autoplay set to "Block audio and video" but audio and video still autoplay from NPR.org website started happening a few weeks ago Is there a way to fix this please?

thank you

As of around 6 weeks ago (bit of a guess) I no longer have the option of pausing/playing media on a tab from the tab list. For at least the last few years prior to this issue, whenever I had a tab playing media (mostly video, but sometimes audio e.g. a podcast episode on BBC.com) there would be a small pause button for that tab in the tab list.

I've attached a attachment (2 screenshots merged). The tab with the purple circle is currently playing a MP4 video (streamable.com) and I would usually see a pause button, I think where the circle is located but might have been in a different corner.

I found this Reddit thread which mentions the issue but outside of the 2 people in this thread I have not found any other info or reports. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1rh5gcy/youtube_buttons_playpause_missing_in_android/

Additional info: while playing video, I am able to pause through system notification (see image attachment) so the playback IS recognized. But no pause/play button in tab list.

Version and device info: 150.0.1 (Build #2016157687), 094f3362dcbcefdce34f05b355607cdce06a4ef4 GV: 150.0.1-20260427013024 AS: 150.0.1 OS: Android 16

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

Any kind of video playback is taking so much time and even if it is playing the video playback is not smooth at all. I have disabled all the extensions, deleted the cookies, using the latest version still things are working the same.

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

Hello! I've recently been having some issues getting videos to play in the background from Firefox's audio notification media player feature. I very frequently use YouTube in the Firefox browser so that I can then exit the browser and still play the audio of a video via the media player, but last night that media player stopped working for me. When I close the Firefox app, I still get the notification as usual, but tapping the "play" button achieves absolutely nothing. I've tried to search the issue and test some fixes myself, but nothing has worked so far. The fixes I've tried include:

• Activated "Allow video and audio" in the Firefox Autoplay setting
• Made sure autoplay was allowed in the YouTube browser tab
• Tried to play the audio while connected to wi-fi and while on data
• Checked for updates to my phone, YouTube, and Firefox (I am up to date)
• Deployed the old "turn it off and turn it back on again" fix, both in Firefox (closing all tabs and re-opening), and for my phone (shut it down and restarted it).

None of the settings for the media player or general notifications for Firefox seem to govern this issue, so I'm bringing it here. Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me! (I've included a photo of the notification bar for extra reference)

I recently started having this issue with YouTube in the mobile Firefox browser where if I tap within the video frame (anywhere on the picture) the video pauses/plays just like clicking the video frame on desktop. Before when I tapped the frame it would toggle the overlay play menu with the usual play/skip/settings but the video would continue playing beneath the buttons. To clarify, the play menu always disappears like it should when the video is playing so this is not the "Accessibility player" settings issue.

The issue goes away if I sign out of YT which makes me suspect it's an account settings issue, however I have played with the accessibility and other settings to no avail. I have uninstalled/reinstalled all of my extensions, restarted my phone, signed in and out of youtube/firefox, updated everything, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, no solutions so far, please help!

I am using Firefox on android and since the most recent update the app will no longer let me play videos in the background, in another tab or with the screen locked.

Suddenly Firefox has randomly decided that it will no longer play any videos anywhere ever. I have changed absolutely nothing, videos just fail to play at all. Every solution that exists on the Internet has failed to solve the problem. And I do mean EVERY solution.

I can open the exact same video on Chrome and it plays immediately with no issues. The app is simply broken.

Very cool. I love it when software stops working due to no fault of my own and nothing I do fixes it. Glad I spent two hours on that.

Can you add YouTube chromium browser feature that swipe down from bottom edge of the video to full screen mode?

When I play a YouTube video, then I don't want it to be landscape Fullscreen. I want it to be portrait full screen mode where I can focus the present video without being distracted by others video thumbnail.

And guys please focus on popular platform to make them free of premium service like YouTube, Facebook and others. That's how you'll get their users who wants to get the premium feature for free like Brave browser focusing YouTube, that's great. But Brave don't have ublock origin extension, that's why I use Firefox. Because Brave Built in ads blocker can't block Facebook ads. Facebook ads only listen the BOSS called ublock origin.

Thanks for your attention
