https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/why-firefox-on-android-replaces-the-default-website-player/m-p/142785#M58432 <P>Good evening, I am a user who loves to test all kinds of new things, and that includes browsers. I have always liked Mozilla's philosophy of independence and market standards, including the decision to maintain compatibility with the V2 protocol. However, I encounter an annoying problem when using Firefox, or any browser that uses its engine on Android: it simply replaces my video player on any website, removing the functions of fast-forwarding or rewinding when tapping on the player. I would like to know why this annoying behavior happens and if no modification will be made to solve or mitigate the problem.</P> Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:34:45 GMT Ledson 2026-10-11T00:34:45Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/why-firefox-on-android-replaces-the-default-website-player/m-p/142785#M58432 <P>Good evening, I am a user who loves to test all kinds of new things, and that includes browsers.
