Firefox YouTube stuttering as well as full screen bug on Pixel 5
Specs: Android 13 Pixel 5 with latest version of Firefox installed.
Issue: This problem has existed for months for me.
audio stutters or more so swiftly cuts in and out.
Sometimes the video itself stutters/lags.
Taping the full screen icon puts the app in the background. Upon reopening it, the entire app looks like it's hanging off the side of the screen.
Example attached.

Hi
Do you have many other apps open on your Android device?
@Paul Maybe? I don't keep track. This bug happens often. Almost all the time.

You may want to revisit the number of apps that you have open.
Do you have many tabs saved in Collections in Firefox for Android?

I don't use collections and I don't understand why having apps open is an issue.
The more apps you have open, the more resources your phone is using to run those apps, which means that high resource intensive activities, such as playing a video, can be more difficult.

Why is this only an issue with firefox? Every other browser I've used doesn't have this problem. Brave, Chrome, Kiwi etc.
