posted 3 xhur iluDoes this happen even if you open a new Youtube tab and then start playing back one single (longer) video, or only in conjunction with autoplay and/or playlists? There's a Firefox bug involving the latter (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878115).
Also another thing: If you temporarily try disabling any kinds of battery optimisations and stuff like that (compare https://dontkillmyapp.com/) for Firefox – does that improve the situation in any way?
I've tried some eleven or twelve minute long "Category: Music" videos, and as long as I only play back one single video at a time (in order to avoid the above Firefox bug), everything worked fine on my phone.

- Rated 5 out of 5by maxime-8.3, xahar iluThanks for this add-on! I use it every day.
I see a change in the behavior of the videos playing in background. After a while it stops for example if I lock my phone, or if I leave the app (and I think it correlates with an inactivity timer or a refresh after an inactivity timer), when I start another app it also stops and no longer restarts.
I still use it and like it though, I wanted to let you know what happens to me. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13448925, xahar ilu
