Firefox for Android Community Forum

Hi, so I've been having Audio "Popping and Crackling" while using sites like YouTube. At first I thought it was earbuds going bad. But after listening to audio in different apps the sound bug was not present. There's something wrong with audio in this bulid of

Firefox for Android 135.0 (Build #2016070975), hg-17c38d56ca55+ GV: 135.0-20250130195129 AS: 135.0.1

I've read that the incidence of a web page removing basic browser elements like the address box and ellipsis menu from the UI is called 'stripping.' I'm not sure if that term is accurate, but the phenomenon I just described is occurring more often on my Firefox Android browser. The obvious navigational disadvantages of that arrangement are joined by an inability to save page-specific shortcuts to my phone's screen. The query 'stripping' in this Help Community's search box provided no useful results, so I'm asking here if there's anything I can do in my settings (or by any other means) to block websites from forcing that behavior upon my Android browser?

Since the last update from Firefox on my phone when I play videos and use my ear buds a cracking sound can be heard when people speak in the videos. This doesn't happen when I play videos through other apps like VLC.

I tested with YouTube in the browser and different websites, they all have the cracking sound.

Is this a known issue?

The latest update of firefox 135.0 for Android has audio issues. When I listen to music on bandcamp or you tube the audio makes a crackeling sound with sporadic drop outs. My wi fi is a very stable fiber optic provider, I did restet the router and run speed test to double check. Not a problem with my Bluetooth headphones since I re paired them. I also re installed Firefox to no avail. Samsung internet has no audio issues currently. I turned off u block origin also. It seems to be isolated to firefox version 135.0. My system is Android 14 with ui 6.1 on a Samsung a23 5g. I have seen other users complain about this with no real answer. Spent a good part of the day trying to figure it out.

8 Feb 2025. Using samsung galaxy z flip 5, audiotechnica mth20x bt over bluetooth. Firefox mobile. Audio played from firefox app has gone wonky, hearing popping noises while audio plays. Have isolated this issue to Firefox, on other apps audio does not have decreased fidelity. Other devices also do not pose this same issue. Any idea why?

Videos playing on Firefox have a crackling noise. This was an issue before, and apparently it was caused by an Android OS update.

It's not my phone or headphones - I checked, using the YouTube and Netflix apps. Bit it seems to only happen when I'm using headphones.

In the last couple updates my mobile Firefox on my note20 (direct through Google play, fully updated) has lacked (lost) the ability to hold the back button to bring up the history of that tab so I could go forward to a page. It had disappeared a long time ago so I refused to update the browser on my old phone then when I got this one found that it had returned, now it's gone again. PLEASE BRING IT BACK AND LEAVE IT BE.

Thank you, Eugene

Ps. I don't see the option in the settings anymore either so it's not something I can re-enable myself.
