Hi, Whenever I'm on a phone call I cannot watch a video on Firefox for android, it just plays for a second and stops. Using YouTube or media gallery work fine. Any solution? Thanks.

Hi

Have you tried using the Video Background Play Fix add-on available from the add-ons option in the Firefox for Android menu?

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I have this add-on installed yet the behavior is still the same. Videos only play for a second and then stop.

Thank you.

Just so I understand this better, you want to be able to have a video playing in Firefox for Android, while taking a phone call?

I notice that you are using an older version of Firefox for Android. I recommend that you update to the latest version available from the Google Play store.

Does this help?
