Has anyone addressed the infinite buffering while streaming vids/movies? Really getting tired of this and chrome keeps looking better. And i hate chrome. Haven't seen an answer on the original question post. Just curious if its taken seriously.

There seems to be 4k video playback issue on youtube. While playing a video in 4k it stutters (not every video, the 60 fps ones seem to be fine). The problem is not present on other chromium based browsers.

I always watched movies/shows through Firefox browser. Lately some titles are playing back like stuttering, choppy, like skipping frames. This happens on Netflix only. In titles like for instance, "The Blacklist" and "The Juror". In Chrome, they work fine. It's just on Firefox. Something happened with Firefox in one of its latest updates.

Hello, I just updated Firefox to version 136 on my MacBook Pro. I was playing a 4k YouTube video, and at 16 minutes and 10 seconds in the video froze. If I moved the cursor the pause button and all of that would come up at the bottom, but when I clicked on the option to exit full screen it did not respond. I pressed the escape button and that did get me out of full screen, but the video window did not apply the right formatting. I'll include a screenshot so that you can see what I am talking about. After exiting full screen, if you look at the bottom of the video window, the option to go back to full screen is cut off. Closing Firefox and relaunching it appears to have things working again, at least for now. I thought it would be best to report this just in case it isn't an isolated glitch.

I have recently encountered this issue with Youtube where a video playing perfectly normally will just stop at a random point and start loading endlessly. If I skip 5 seconds, it plays again without any issues until it reaches the same problem again. There isn't a pattern to this and I have not made any new changes to cause this issue. Additionally I have tested it on Chrome and Brave and this issue doesn't arise there. Any suggestion for a fix?

When I watch a video on any website (including YouTube) and switch it to fullscreen mode, the video fades out and switches to fullscreen mode, and the same happens when switching back. How can I turn this off? I couldn't find such a setting in the browser settings

Hello,

I have tried several times to adjust settings to get audio. I have audio on my other laptop with Firefox but not this one. I was going to un and then reinstall but Mozilla suggested I try to refresh. It doesn't work. Very frustrating. I missed out on a meeting because of this.

Unable to watch on YT ESL spirit v EF CS2 as memory usage constantly going up until pc almost locks up. Had this issue a few weeks back and it was the chat however now disabling chat makes no difference.

Nm tried disabling Ublock origin and it's fixed, left this there as it might be useful to you guys

Hi, I am using Firefox browser on Windows 11, Dell machine with Cirruslogic sound driver There is sound intrruptions when a new music source has started while a music already playing on another tab. While a radio or youtube music stream playing on a tab (in background) and if other tab starts a new sound like youtube or video an any page when started the music background got interrupted (like a small pause operation). If I do the same with chrome or opera, the music goes on without promblem seamlesly. Also if a music stream continues, opening a new music stream on chrome do es not effects. So, the only proble ise with opening sound from different tabs interrups each other on only Firefox browser PS:I am using the Treestyle tab extension. I do not know there is a relation or not Regards Murat

Recently switched from Chrome to FF on macOS. Running latest Sequoia 15.3.2, Firefox 136.0.2 (aarch64) on a Macbook Air M4.

Problem: When watching a video eg YouTube but including other HTML video, on Firefox where macOS is globally muted and scrubbing through the timeline using the arrow keys, or starting a video mid-way, the audio briefly cuts in (less than a second) and quickly mutes again. I was surprised by this as I expected with macOS globally muted, no application would be able to make any sound.

This behaviour is limited to Firefox and persists with all extensions disabled. macOS is stock with Sound output set to the built-in Macbook Air speakers. No other sound drivers e.g. Soundsource or a USB audio interface have been installed. The laptop itself is brand new and stock.

Can anyone explain why this might be happening?

I've recently switched back to Mozilla Firefox again & I installed it via its official installer in Windows 11.

There's something wrong with playback what I noticed is that if I disconnect my wired earphones/headphones & then it pauses the media playback.

I am not aware that if this is an issue, bug or default behavior.

If it is not an issue then is there any possible way to modify such behavior.

Note:

• This thing is tested when all extensions are turned off (disabled)
• Such behavior is observed in both web players such as YouTube, dailymotion, etc. & locally stored/saved/downloaded videos played in Mozilla firefox.
• Not any setting was imported from any browser

I don't know when it began but on 136.0.3, I'm experiencing choppy playback of 4k/24fps video. 60fps works fine, as do lower resolutions of 24fps content. I confirmed that YT is using the VP09 for playback.

No matter what site I am using, youtube, or any other site that contains videos or audios, I cannot hear the sound when using Mozilla. I want to mention that there is no problem with my speakers because if I use Chrome on the same computer, the sound works. Can you help me?
