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?

I was prompted by my phone to review Firefox, and on a whim wrote "Slightly annoying how it'll sometimes just refuse to load a page, at least on my old phone, but still my favorite browser" I received a "developer response" requesting that I ask a question in here to investigate further. Issue is, I just got a new phone, so the bug might not occur on this new one - it's not something that happens all that often, but it's my impression that it's something that'll happen if the Firefox app has laid dormant in the background of my phone for a long time and I tab back into it. It was always fixed with a quick restart. My old phone was a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, if that matters. Again, it *might* occur on this phone too, it just hasn't yet, I just can't say for sure, as it's not something that happens all that often, but still often enough to be a little annoying. I can't reproduce it on my old phone because every single pixel in the screen is dead, hence the new phone. So there's no way I could test it.

When playing YouTube videos in full screen using

Firefox: the gear button and the "restore screen size/exit full screen" button are nonfunctional (nothing happens when I tap on them).

Google Chrome browser: the gear icon button is nonfunctional.

DuckDuckGo browser: the gear icon button is non functional.

Opera browser: the gear icon button is non functional.

This problem started about a week and a half ago.

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.

Hello guys !!

Is there any way to copy comments from YouTube on Firefox for android ?? The long press doesn't do anything.

It works on chrome and on edge, so this isn't a limitation from the YouTube. Obviously it works on desktop, but I don't know why doesn't work on android.

I use the Firefox extension video speed control. No problem on my tablets, however, with my phone when I do a playlist, it only speeds up on the first video then I have to go into the settings and reset each of the playlist videos. Is there a way to play all the videos with the same settings. The extension does not give me the same options as my tablets. Thank you for your help.

I had some synced bookmarks that I was getting rid of using the bookmarks section. The only bookmarks that showed up there (automatically without any input from me) were the ones I imported from another browser on my desktop. Once I deleted the last one of those, the bookmarks section on my homepage disappeared. When I go to customize homepage in the settings, it is set to active. However, it is not visible. I can't find anything that will force it to point back to my mobile bookmarks.

I have tried toggling the setting off and back on, clearing cache, and force closing app. No results. I am hesitant to try reinstalling or clearing data because the app has no way to export any tabs, history, or bookmarks into another file. I'm afraid if I do this, then log back in, my synced info will be lost.

Firefox for android version 129.0 Samsung Galaxy S21+ SM-G966U1 Android 14 OneUI 6.1

I had a number of situations where attempt to scan a qr code results in a number in Firefox - e.g. attempt to open web adress http://7638746 or something like that.

Other browsers/qr code scanners give correct output, i.e. the address qr code gives.

I am actually quite curious that I haven't found a single thread about it. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I use a Xiaomi 14 Pro, and I experience this scrolling bug that is hard to describe in words so I will link to a video of the bug: https://youtu.be/HRzDgURdcoM?si=lGjBpWQBb8Gg-g8c

first half of the video is showing the bug on REGULAR firefox and the second half is to show that the bug exists on nightly too. How do i fix this? its REALLY getting to my nerves.

When I go to 'junkmail' in my Hotmail, the page opens but after a second or so gives the fault message I've attached. It started this two days ago. Not being able to access my junk mail is very inconvenient.

My hotmail junk mail won't open. Normal mail opens o.k. but the junkmail page opens and then goes to a fault message telling me to refresh my browser page. On my normal mail page when I open an email to read it, it opens in a new tab, instead of opening on the same tab.

All this started yesterday, 7th Aug.
