Youtube auto pauses on background. (android)

Hello, I am having an issue when playing videos on youtube or youtube music on firefox (android). While I can unpause the video / music with the tab being in the background (different tab or even app is focused or even with locked screen), for some reason whenever I am currently focused on the youtube tab and leave it (lock screen, move to different tab or minimize the app to go to home screen/different app) the video will pause and I will need to unpause it again. Does anybody have a solution for this?
