When I am watching youtube videos, when I enter fullscreen mode by clicking bottom right 'Fullscreen' icon on the video, I get fullscreen of course, but only once. What I mean? once I enter fullscreen mode of youtube video, if I leave that fullscreen mode e. g. to change video, I can No Longer enter fullscreen mode no matter if i click the icon for it. I need to reshresh the page.

If I was to go out of fullscreen mode to read the title or other information about the video, I can no longer go to fullscreen mode again until I refresh/reload the page. You know what I am saying, in this particular case the video will start from scratch etc.

Fix please.

No.

I recommend that you give it a try as we have built it very differently to provide a better and smoother user experience.

I don't think it is appropriate for you to ask me to use different app/browser, are you planning on taking down the original Mozilla Firefox?

I cannot mark as "solution" answer that is proposing me to change the app I am using. I came here to report that particular bug for that particular browser on that particular OS.

Well, since we changing the browser to fix the problem I am describing here, I have to mention problems that will also APPEAR. One that is known is: - Addon I use all the time cannot be installed on Firefox Preview. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/ , additional Info: I use this addon to play music or listen to video for example from m.youtube.com while I keep my screen turned off or while I am browsing different application installed on my Phone.

  • Without this Addon I won't be able to play videos while Firefox Preview is minimzed in the background i.e. minimizing Firefox Preview will stop videos from playing.

You quit support for firefox that many people use, to work on firefox that is not ready yet. Where do we step? I came here giving feedback/calling for support/asking community or w/e, and "fight" for this browser. As far as I remember I decided and prefer Firefox to be my main browser since desktop version 3.* or something. Year 2004-5-6-7. Don't disappoint me. Edit:with those answers you give me, including the one on 4th May, you already did.

I am not marking this problem as solved, because it's not.

Ok, thank you for your feedback.

Much of our development work is currently focused on Firefox Preview and that is where any changes are likely to land. While it does have a limited number of add-ons at the moment, more will be made available in future updates.

I was replaying keeping topic in mind, but I guess what you had in mind is completely different(make advertisement for Firefox preview), from the start you are actually ignoring w/e I say with one goal, "try to make them think that I support them but advert Firefox preview". Why wouldn't you, just, from start make people sure that you aren't actually gonna help them so they are not giving you more information while you keep ignoring them, leaving them feeling betrayed? What kind of support moderator are you.

I do not want you to reply on my topic anymore, what you do is making people think that this topic is taken care of when they see moderator is posting. This post is not taken care of, answers are always shallow and patterned, never saying what will satisfy the user, because there might be shared information that may not be backed up later. Making the post creator unsatisfied and feel betrayed to even replying to you when they notice how you ignore them and how you do not give a f for what they are saying as long as you say use FIREFOX PREVIEW from now on. Well there is a different ways of saying this, this is not the right one, obviously when user come here and actually believe that they came into support, making effort posting topic, making effort naming topic and stick to it, when they put in time to come into your website, is not the right time to rubbing hands saying "one more to who I can just tell him to use something else that doesn't fixes the problem but it will be our future product and we won't support Original Firefox anymore but I won't say it because I have zero respect to users and I might share information that will expose my true intention, advert Firefox preview and ignore topic or whatever else is said!

Seburo, I do not want you to post on my topic anymore, I believed you and tried to talk to you with several replies, but I just saw that you have no intention of understanding what I am trying to give here. You made me feel like my replies are useless, but they are not, I gave something more than usual you should appreciate it, but you took advantage of me, that's irritating and I suggest you be given penalty.

To supervisor or other moderators, users, etc.: If Original firefox will not be supported anymore: say it clearly. If firefox preview is complete substitute to original firefox: say it clearly. If you do not want people to come here and report bugs, make topics: clearly say it and remove the "topics thingy", if you can't remove it but don't want people to come here, then you are not the one who says and decides, means, do your job!

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers. I am trying to offer a solution that will help you having tried it myself on my own device.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Hi. I didn't know about the volunteers thing, from the start I wanted to speak with the firefox support, it turns out this is a community Q&A. I am sorry.

You are the only one who answered and keep answering my question so I guess I have to thank you. Thank you. I will follow the "Submit Feedback" thing, and if doesn't suit me (who knows) I will look for other feedback and will make sure it will be to actual firefox employees, which as I see is not that easy to find.

Best wishes.
