Unable to remove Playback settings sometimes on YouTube by tapping on 'OK'. Kindly fix the issue.

I can't upload a video here? I hope the. you'll understand with the screenshot.

Device: ROG 5 Browser: MULL latest version.

Can no longer access or copy transcript on YouTube. The three dots visible on a desktop used to be visible in Firefox as Firefox on Android was basically a copy of desktop. I could click on dots, then click on Get Transcript and the whole Transcript was visible on my phone. I could copy the whole transcript and paste it into Google docs. This feature was wonderful. Now the three dots to access the transcript are not visible on my phone. Please help.

The appearance of Youtube on Firefox now looks like the Youtube app on an Android and many of the desktop features are not available or at least not visible. Is there a way I can chose to view YouTube the way it used to appear in Firefox on my phone?

Thank you.

I have a huge problem, whenever I try to play videos or listen to audios they pause immediately upon starting and require me to tap the 'resume' button a million times to listen to 1-5 seconds of the track or video. This has nothing to do with extensions, I tried disabling them all but the problem persisted. Happens no matter what site I'm visiting. Happened a long time ago and none of the recent bug fixes helped, so I decided to finally talk about it. The attached picture explains the problem in a very simplified way I think. I have the latest version right now and the problem is still there so... do I reset all my settings or is it not my browser's settings fault either?

For several days Firefox Nightly has been stopping and backtracking while trying to play videos from YouTube and from a news site called Topnewsshow. com. I mainly listen to these sites pretty much round the clock to keep up with world events, so I don't know if this would happpen for all sites.

I've checked the service status of my BT broadband, and the engineers say they have not heard of a fault like mine. Though I did think it must be the line (twisted wire from the fibre box), as I've had trouble with it before, I tried with Chrome, and, not only did it play without stuttering, it actually played at high quality, which has not been possible on Topnewsshow for some time, but I didn't suspect the browser until it started stuttering on YouTube too. It may play for a minute or two and let you think it's working, but then it will jump back and start repeating from about 30s before. It can take an hour to get through a half hour video. It has been driving me nuts.

I've tried it on two different phones, one Android 8 and one Android 11, and I've tried clearing the cache, and, eventually, uninstalling, rebooting, and downloading fresh from play store. It is still the same. Firefox has always been problematic on some sites, particularly when trying to complete purchases: often have to switch to Chrome, and never have been able to find why. I use Nightly so that I can use about:config to adjust the zooming settings and pixels per pixel to get the best fits on my unusual aspect ratio keyboard phones (Titan Pocket, Cosmo Communicator), but the fault was the same on the fresh download before adjusting, and adding add ons.

While searching for solutions, I read about Firefox forks, and so tried installing Ice Raven on the Cosmo (not installed on the Titan I'm writing this on yet). IceRaven plays the videos without stuttering and in good quality on YouTube. It still has to play at lowest quality on the Topnewsshow site, but it doesn't keep doubling back the way it does on Firefox. Topnewsshow is Russian, so I wasn't expecting top quality, but it has been very handy for me to listen to US news from the UK.

It's pretty much unbearable to have to hear people keep doubling back mid sentence, so I've been surprised not to have found anyone else complaining of this effect. Perhaps it is because I tend to listen to longer content and speech rather than music: people who only listen to short clips may not notice the fault.

Not really a question but I don't know where else to report bugs, and the developer suggested I post details here. I don't see a bug report forum.

As of version 130, the youtube mobile website does not render popup and floating menus properly anymore (no issues prior to this). The bar at the bottom of the screen for navigation between home, subscriptions etc will completely disappear at random after watching a video and hitting the back button. Also, popup menus (hide a video/ report a video /ignore a channel etc) will be too low and clip off the bottom of the screen. They are displayed behind the android navigation bar, making the lower options impossible to press, and the touch point is misaligned with the text option (pressing one option will give you the result of another option as though you had pressed that button instead.

These issues occur after watching one or two videos and hitting the back button. Functionality is restored by closing the tab or browser and reopening. Reloading the page does not appear to fix it.

Hi everyone! I’ve noticed that while using Firefox on my smartphone, the audio quality isn’t as clear as it is on other browsers or apps. Has anyone else experienced this? I run a small website calledFix My Speaker, where we help users with smartphone speaker issues, so I’ve done my fair share of troubleshooting on the hardware side. But I’m wondering if there’s something browser-specific that could be causing this audio inconsistency? Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Since the 129.0 update, Youtube videos on Firefox for Android are played extremely zoomed in, which makes it impossible to see the entire video image. Only the upper left corner is shown. If I increase the quality of the video, I can see a bigger portion of it, but still not the entire video. Audio works fine. This issue is not present in Chrome or Opera. I use a Huawei P20 Pro with Android 10, and I suspect that this issue is related to Huawei because other Huawei users are reporting it (on Reddit, for instance). I've tried disabling add-ons and deleting app data, but it didn't work. Also updating to 129.0.2 didn't fix the issue.

Could you please look into it?

Thank you

I'm experiencing a number of issues with videos not playing at all. I could do a search for something, and I'll either find images or videos to help with what I'm working on or I'll look up video tutorials for how to do things, or just any random videos. But the videos just won't play. Instead, the page just reloads back to the same page and same screen where there's a play button, and the videos WON'T PLAY.

I think YouTube is working fine for me, but other sites and videos just don't work at all.

Only within Firefox for Android is the Icon for images on my Android 11 mobile, using Gboard keypad, is broken. For several weeks now.

All it brings up is ONLY GIFs options.

Tested upload images to Twitter x via the inbuilt Chrome browser. It worked fine.

Updated Firefox app to the latest. Tried turning off Ghostery add-on. No difference at all.

Any advice please. Seems only a couple of people lately have posted on this issue. But saw similar issue from some years ago.

So, it has to be Firefox but I can't see anything in its settings i may have changed wrongly. ?. Thx kindly & have a nice evening or day, Karen.

Woke up this morning and my stupid phone had updated to the new, awful, Firefox on Android: ‎ 119.0 (Build #2015980915), 367d60e851+ GV: 119.0-20231019122658 AS: 119.0

To my horror I was seeing images on webpages, totally ruining my browsing experience. The main reason I use firefox on Android is because it allows me to turn off media. I don't want to see any of that, almost always entirely irrelevant, distraction. Now I'm going to have to use Samsung internet and continually click reader mode. This is NOT about ad blocking, it is not about saving data. It is about drastically improving the browsing experience. Please reinstate blocking of all images and videos.

A recent update has broken the ability to upload images. I am on a Pixel 7. Firefox has full rights. I tried clearing cache. It is not a particular website. This one for instance, allows the option of uploading images to attach.to my question and it doesn't work. Hoping someone has a fix so I can keep using the browser.

When displaying an iframe video in a popup, clicking the close button and other click events do not work. This issue only occurs in the Firefox browser on Android, while it functions correctly in the Firefox browser on iOS.

Is this a default behavior.

The upload photo button does nothing... on this page, on Reddit, Facebook too. I've tried clearing cache. I'm on latest android and firefox 124.2.0. I have standard security enabled and permission is set to "Ask" for camera and storage. How do I make this work again?

After connecting a bluetooth headset and using Firefox (115.0a1 (Build #2015950435), 1d9511bcc3 + this version so far) to play online video is obviously lagging, not audio and video is not synchronized, is to play a moment to get stuck in a frame like this. My own troubleshooting revealed a problem with Firefox and the encoding format selected for the headset. Currently 1 the problem is only in bluetooth audio encoder selection acc (lhdc also have the problem but the symptoms are not as serious as aac) and triggered in firefox, other browsers can not be reproduced, test redmi k40 and xiaomi 13p also can not be reproduced. 2 after the screen recording is turned on, the problem is obviously lagging. 2 The problem disappeared after turning on screen recording, the screen recording parameter is 1280x720@60 at 32mbps, and the audio source is recorded in the system. Play the video first and then open the screen recording lag disappeared, first start screen recording after playing the video lag does not appear. And no matter what kind of situation screen recording stops lag recovery.

Hi Guys!

Can high resources eatin' (maybe graphics, IDK) Ads, for Me in the Webside embedded and (sometimes) with 'movie' like movement decorated, automatically get blocked?

My phone runs slow, 'even' with just 1 Tab open and only Firefox Mobile App on the phone active.

Sorry, I can't see the field I type in currently, maybe I writ a bad layout right now, but content matters XD.

Hello, since the 2 last updates, i lost the ability to see the menu on side of video playing window. Usually it's the list of episodes i'm watching next to the player. It changed since prior last update i've done. Do you know how to change to previous settings please? It render small screen, full screen exactly the same size more or less. It happens on all sites i'm use to visit. I appreciate your time. Thanks a lot C.F
