Went with this extension first since it is recommended by Mozilla, but it didn't work for me at all on my Motorola phone. After trying many similar ones in the add-ons store, the best I've found so far is:
1. Background Playback Helper (YouTube & Vimeo) by phase3
2. Background Video Player by Dr. B. R. Shriradhakrishnasharnam

Hopefully this helps someone save some time. This is an older extension and hasn't been updated in more than a year and a half despite YouTube's recent changes to target non-premium users. There appear to be many newer ones, like those above, that work better based on my testing.

28.07.2026 roku zainstalowałem ten plugin na mobilnej wersji Firefox ver 153.0 na systemie Android 15 i działa ta funkcja odtwarzania video w tle, również w kartach prywatnych - z powodzeniem mogę wyłączyć ekran lub przejść do innej aplikacji i dalej słuchać muzyki, podcastu, vloga itp. Działają też tak shorty. Plugin całkowicie bezobsługowy, zero konfiguracji, zainstalowałem, odświezyłem na wszelki wypadek oglądaną stronę www i sam zaczął działać zgodnie z oczekiwaniami.

Czytałem tutaj, że ponoć od jakiegoś czasu w 2026 roku przestało to funkcjonować - u mnie działa więc nie umiem się do tego odnieść.

On July 28, 2026, I installed this plugin on the mobile version of Firefox version 153.0 on Android 15, and the background video playback feature works, even in private tabs. I can successfully turn off the screen or switch to another app and continue listening to music, podcasts, vlogs, etc. YouTube Shorts also work this way. The plugin is completely maintenance-free, with no configuration required. I installed it, refreshed the website I was viewing just in case, and it started working as expected.

I read here that this supposedly stopped working some time in 2026 – it works for me, so I can't comment on that.
