Youtube Caption not showing automatically when you set it in Youtube Settings. Also it seems you can't change captions into other langauges, other langauges automatically as well. Captions are skewed to showed only one letter and to the left, when you set Youtube Setting to Desktop mode ON and Set Firefox Desktop mode OFF. I watching from Android TV.

I tried setting ON in Youtube Settings from Account - > Playback and Performance. It doesn't do anything. I think you get the options when you youtube desktop mode ON and Firefox Desktop Mode OFF. It works in Chrome but not on Firefox.

Hi

Are you trying to watch these videos in Firefox for Android?

Yes. Chrome Android doesn't work for me on my Android TV Box, I get a green screen when fullscreen. I have to use Firefox Android to watch on youtube.

Have you installed Firefox for Android from the Google Playstore or have you downloaded and sideloaded a copy separately?
