— Wade the Wilson, pred 2 letoma《UPDATE #2》
I believe I have discovered the issue! So, as stated in the 1ˢᵗ 2 reviews below, the app works on SOME videos {+5☆}, but on OTHERS it gets cut off as the page reloads {-4☆}.
After some experimentation, I can now definitely confirm that this extension functions EXACTLY as advertised on any "normal" video/playlist (like when listening to a podcast, for example).
HOWEVER, for any video YouTube has flagged as MUSIC, it forces the browser to kill the tab, automatically reloading it when next you switch over to it.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, MY DEAR SWEET DEV-TEAM! I've officially located the issue for you. NOW, all you gotta do is fix it.
As for my review... since I've proven the Extension still has ~50% functionality... {+2☆}, bringing the current total up to a respectable 3☆.
That said, should you release an update solving the music issue, I'll GLADLY bumb that badboy back up to 5☆!
Lookin' forward to it.
《UPDATE #1》
Not sure what happened, or if it's just on certain videos, but it definitely started failing every 5-10 minutes...
As soon as you fix that issue, I'll change it back to 5☆ though!
(it's so weird, cuz it literally just worked like 14 hours ago...)
《ORIGINAL REVIEW》
Perfection. It does EXACTLY whst it says it'll do. YouTube/Mozilla keep putting out updates that makes it harder and harder to multitask or listen to videos, but THIS is the solution.
THANK YOU.

objavljeno ob pred 2 letomaDoes this happen even if you open a new Youtube tab and then start playing back one single (longer) video, or only in conjunction with autoplay and/or playlists? There's a Firefox bug involving the latter (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878115).
Also another thing: If you temporarily try disabling any kinds of battery optimisations and stuff like that (compare https://dontkillmyapp.com/) for Firefox – does that improve the situation in any way?
I've tried some eleven or twelve minute long "Category: Music" videos, and as long as I only play back one single video at a time (in order to avoid the above Firefox bug), everything worked fine on my phone.

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. - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 20022895, pred enim dnem
