Stuck in landscape after playing video (Firefox Android)

more options

Hi,

I have an issue where Firefox automatically goes in to landscape mode when you play a video but then gets stuck there. The issue resolves itself if I leave the phone overnight or restart it, however this is far from ideal.

I have searched the support forum to no avail and also tried to use about:config however don't seem to be able to access it, which I understand to be a 'feature' of the current firefox build.

Ideally I'd like to completely stop firefox from forcing the browser in to landscape mode, however a way to return to portrait afterwards would also help a lot.

Phone - Huawei P9 Lite OS and browser are on auto update so will be the most recent version.

Many thanks, Alastair.

Thanks for the reply,

It happens on you tube. Any time I watch a video to the end.
