I'm not sure when this started but for some reason I can't play a YouTube video in one tab, then open a video in another tab without Firefox automatically pausing and stopping the video in the tab I switched from. It won't play both at once. I can press play on one then switch tabs and press play then the other stops. I used to be able to play multiple videos in multiple tabs automatically in FF like in any other browser. I can STILL do this in Chrome, Safari, Opera or Edge. If this is a new FF "feature" I want to disable it now.

I have solved the problem for anyone who has the same issue.

The issue isn't with FF. It's with the Enhancer for YouTube addon. There's a setting called "Pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab". For some reason when using this addon with the other browsers this box isn't ticked by default. Untick this box and you're good to go. This thread can be closed.

Hi McCoy thanks for the reply. I actually don't see a "Solved the problem" button to the right of my comment. I do see a button to the next of your comment "solution chosen" and undo button. But to the right of my comment all I see is "edit this post". Am I supposed to undo your chosen solution then the button will show up next to my response? Sorry new here lol
