Allowed all notifications (so that a firefox media control available in notifications bar/tray)īut still the playback stops when the screen is off/device sleeps.Firefox App not 'Optimized for battery usage',.

Since there was an update to the Android as well (device: Samsung S20), I suspected a config change in the device level. But after the update lost that functionality, once the screen is off, media continues to play till the device enters sleep mode. If you really need it, I think it's enabled on beta and nightly.Till the last update (79.0.5), media used to play in the background even if the browser is minimized (navigate to other apps), or android on sleep (press power button, screen off). To solve this problem, we have created a very. The last I heard (in an off the cuff comment in a thread somewhere on ) they're discussing internally whether to enable it, or if there's something better they can do. This is a common problem for Android, which also lacks the ability to set browser or system-wide proxy settings. So release it into the wild, and people will rejoice, because they have about:config! But then bitch and moan, because loads of the settings don't actually do anything. Edit: What's more, about:config can now completely break Fenix in such a way that only a delete and reinstall can fix it. This means an awful lot of the about:config items which do something to the UI on the desktop don't make any sense on Android. So about:config can only exert control over Gecko, not the UI. The architecture of new Android Firefox means Gecko and the User Interface are effectively separate entities (my basic understanding is it's an app built with Mozilla Android Components, which embeds Geckoview). about:config can affect any part of the browser. In desktop Firefox, Gecko (the web content engine) and the User Interface are effectively the same thing. Someone else answered this question a year ago.
