In the beginning, Firefox for Android uses don't stop movies when we open another window or program, and keep going on the YouTube movie in background. What happens? Any trick I need know to make it work again? Ty

A year or so ago YouTube made a change that only allows playback when the user is actively looking at the video. Likely to drive YouTube Red subscriptions.

You can use this extension to change the behavior https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/
