If it is intentional, is there any way to restore background video playback?<BR /><BR />This is really frustrating because background playback is an important feature for me, especially when listening to videos while using other apps or doing something else.<BR /><BR />Any help would be greatly appreciated.</P> Sun, 16 Aug 2026 08:46:25 GMT PawN 2026-08-16T08:46:25Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/background-video-playback-stopped-working-after-the-latest/m-p/134843#M54312 <P>After updating Firefox to the latest version, I suddenly lost the ability to play videos in the background.</P><P><BR />Previously, I could start playing a video and then switch to another tab or put Firefox in the background, and the video would continue playing normally.<BR /><BR />However, after the update, the video immediately stops playing whenever I switch to another tab or send Firefox to the background.<BR /><BR />What makes this even more frustrating is that Firefox doesn't seem to provide any background playback control or button that would allow me to resume playback in the background.<BR /><BR />I also can't roll back to the previous Firefox version, so I'm basically stuck with this behavior.<BR /><BR />Is this an intentional change, or is it a bug?
