Firefox for Android Community Forum

For the past few months, videos on YouTube haven't been playing properly. They load just fine and there's no issues with the auto, but once the video starts playing it will sometimes be zoomed into the top left corner, making it impossible to properly see what's going on.

This happens with music videos too, both official and lyrical. It will be zoomed in close to the top left corner and just barely catches what's going on in the video. Sometimes, video do play like they're supposed to, but for the most part, they'll be zoomed in as soon as I hit play.

I'm using a Huawei P20. I've been using FireFox for a long time mainly for accessing YouTube through the browser. After recent updates when I try to play a video it always appears to be really zoomed-in and completely unwatchable, decided to switch to WaterFox to resolve my issue, but after the last update WaterFox also has the same issue.

Can anyone provide some help with this issue?

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

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.

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?

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?

I have lost the ability to customize the browser and the audio is gone. Audio works with EDGE, AND CHROME still. This is a Firefox issue. I woke up and it had changed, I made no changes to anything from yesterday when I had everything working fine.

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!

Whenever I browse a site that has any embedded video or something that plays automatically. The browser will play the video, then make my phone blink to black, takes it to the lock screen, and continuously blink and I'm unable to do anything other than hold the power button and restart or wait for the video to stop playing (if it's not on a continuous loop) and then I'll regain control.

I tried a different browser and take it to the same sites, and it doesn't give me this problem. I also don't have any extensions installed.

I have firefox for android 129 and cannot adjust volume on twitter videos on the web, not the app. The speaker icon is there but is non-functional. Volume is at the lowest setting there and if I crank up the volume on my tablet I might be able to hear something through the speakers. If I head over to chrome everything works just fine. A search for this issue shows many people with the same problem. What gives and how do we fix it?

For some days I have an issue with playing YouTube videos in Mozilla android browser: videos appear as if they were enlarged several times, and I only see a top left corner of the video in low resolution. Full-screen mode, "view for PC" browser option did not change it. I tried reinstalling app, also installed Firefox nightly - the issue remained. On the other hand, videos on other websites, YouTube in chromium based browsers, Firefox on other devices do not have this issue. What could it be?

It used to work really good, but now it just now was auto updated to version 129.0 and only a small portion of the video is visible in the viewport (less than a quarter?). Wish you could easily downgrade versions in Android.
