Since Flathub list the org.mozilla.firefox app as official, i hope this is the correct support channel.

Recently i switched from distro specific package managers to flatpak as my application provider. The firefox flatpak won't play most embedded Video/Media on applications like in-browser fediverse clients, forums, blogs or wikis. Youtube works without any issues, Twitch is fine until there is an adbreak. Then it sometimes stops with the supported format/mime error (screenshot appended), only recoverable by cache-dismissive reload.

I used this Article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/audio-and-video-firefox and the links it contains to debug without any success. None of these samples play. just shows supported format/mime error https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h265 At this test website 1. and 3. example won't play. I provided a screenshot before and after trying to click play on all the examples. https://www.tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page

Contrary to the observed behavior about:support#media claims Software Decoding supported for everything except HEVC.

Chromium Flatpak has no such issues. So i copy the video url and play it with chromium. You can see: dire times.

Reposting until I get help from someone. Windows/desktop. On Google Chrome, any streaming website I used with autoplay enabled would KEEP full screen mode ON after changing episodes. It would automatically go to a new page with the following episode and remain full screen. Why doesn't Firefox have this feature?? I'm seriously considering going back to Google Chrome for this one small feature. Every time I had any streaming service playing with autoplay enabled, I didn't have to manually select the full screen option every time. I am having to stand up and manually click full screen function. Every. Single. Time. Somebody please help me if there's a way to active that function.

In Firefox, I have audio and video autoplay blocked globally, and added an exception for one particular website (Discord). However, Discord now only autoplays videos once, but doesn't loop them as it should (they implemented GIFs as videos, but now they don't loop).

Of course this could be interpreted as a bug in Discord's web client. However, there shouldn't be a difference between a website that got an exception and autoplay being globally allowed. Therefore i suspect that there is a bug in firefox where some property, state, or hint is set differently depending on whether a page has been added to exceptions or autoplay is allowed globally.

Is there anything i can do to work around this? I really want an autoplay exception to actually work as expected (the website doesn't need to know that it's special)

Trying to run Prime and Netflix in a Linux browser on my new Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14. Not that this is an ARM based unit (Kompanio Ultra 910).

I can successfully download Firefox for Linux: Mozilla Firefox Debian Package mozilla-deb-1.0 144.0 (aarch64)

But when I go to run streaming video services get: Prime Video is incompatible with your current operating system or web browser. You must update to watch Prime Video titles. Review the Prime Video system requirements. If the problem continues, please contact Amazon Customer Service and refer to error 7132.

Same with Netflix.

any ideas, thoughts, solutions?  :)

Cheers.

Whenever I play videos on YouTube in Firefox, the video is always choppy and does not run smoothly. I’ve tried restarting the browser and checking my internet connection, but the issue continues. This problem only happens in Firefox, not in other browsers.

Only on firefox, the music on apple music keeps changing volume. I can hear it sound fine for a second but then it changes the volume to around half of what its meant to be. I dont see any settings to change it, its fine on other browsers, im genuinely unsure of what to do.

Hi recently my phone got stolen and while im unable to afford a new one im using a samsung tablet model SM-T705Y which is not new and only tunning android 6, it cant even get a version of the youtube app that will work so i have to watch them on the website. This was all good until a few days ago when it just started coming up with a error message. Please help. Thanks, Travis.

Recently, if I am playing audio from Firefox on my phone, the audio stops when my phone screen is locked. This did not used to happen and does not happen if I play the same audio from Safari. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.1. I have tried resetting the phone and removing and reinstalling Firefox, but it persists. The problem does not occur with audio played from the same webpage through Firefox using my iPad, logged into the same Firefox account.

As the title says. I get this prompt on videos from different, yet particular websites and sources. And they fail to load. It's also happened where some video's work and some don't, side-by-side on the same website and session.

• I've tried clearing all of my cached data, my browser history, cookies, site-data, settings, and fill-out information. No avail.
• I've tried disabling all of my extensions and add-ons.
• I've even tried using google instead, but I just get constant loading on those particular video's with no thumbnail (As depicted in second picture).
• I've checked my video drivers for updates.
• I've tried reinstalling Adobe Flash Player, even though it says it's no longer supported.

Since it also might be happening in another browser. I understand how this might not be Firefox's fault. But I'm hoping you'll be able to help me still.

For the last two years the issues with video stutter have been worse and worse for me. I don't know if it is because of a different codec the video is using, but if it was I would expect the fans to ramp up from trying to decode it. Instead, my laptop stays always silent, but the video laggs like crazy when I want to play it at native 1440p.

I cannot view or change the video codec, since the current issue happens on a platform (herohero.com) other than youtube.

So Im currently trying to watch young sheldon on netflix, and im doing it through firefox, and it wont work, it says error code f7701-1003, thank you for your time.
