Форум спільноти Firefox для Android

While playing YouTube on firefox I tried to pull down the full screen. Rather going full it stayed same small and rest screen becomes dark . After pulling many times I finally find it full screened. But it happens everytime same after changing video or going back.

private vedio or ordinary,,,, all vedio opening after break down continue,,,, even I check my phone , phone network, space all are fine ,,, but this app not working properly, sprey like vedio opening,,,, curser moving continue, so not able see an vedio continually showing arror type moving the net baar icon and the vedeo hanging continuosly

In Firefox on Android, horizontal YouTube videos display incorrectly in fullscreen—the top of the video is cut off, and a large empty gray space appears at the bottom, while vertical videos work normally.

I don't use the YouTube app, I prefer to use it via the website. When I do, I usually watch @ 1.25x speed, however, any time I leave the tab, on returning, playback speed reverts to normal time (always) &, sometimes, playback speed indicator will still be @ my selected speed

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
