Will Firefox support live captions for videos that does not have a closed caption option? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1332968 I found an old thread, but I don't know if you have had any updates since then. More detailed query: Provide captions for all important audio information in video content. This includes all spoken language as well as music and sounds pertinent to the content of the video.

Hi

This is not so much an issue with Firefox for Android, more the video that you are trying to view. Do you have an example of a video where this is not happening?

Hi

I cannot open live captions on that video in Firefox or on other browsers. Do you have an example where there are live captions?
