URL: https://youtube.com

Browser / Version: firefox Operating System: android 12 or 13 Tested Another Browser: Yes Other

Problem type: Something else Description: thumbs up to go fullscreen doesn't always work, when skip to forward or backward using two taps (shows link kind of structure like to copy etc.), when I try to escape the already playing video even when I force close the FF it remains there on minimized version and also when switched to other app it take over those and then I can't work there properly, for 9gag: it doesn't always work and when it does the comments section is does not respond properly... Steps to Reproduce: The thumbs up gesture to go full screen does not always work. When I try to skip forward or backward by double-tapping the screen, it shows a link-like structure with options to copy, share, etc. When I try to exit a video that is already playing, even if I force close Firefox, it remains in the minimized window. It also takes over other apps when I switch to them, making it difficult to use them properly. On 9gag, the website does not always load, and when it does, the comments section does not respond properly. Also, many times many websites just don't load (I am running on FF latest android, on realme 9 se, it works nicely on brave, chrome etc.

We appreciate your report but I was not able to reproduce this issue. The behaviour is the same on Chrome.

I was able to reproduce the issue with the swipe up gesture for fullscreen.

Regarding the other fast forward issue I was not able to reproduce it on any version of Firefox. The one with the notifications unless you close the youtube tab from the browser it will still be there.

For the one with the FF: you need to FF to 40 seconds you are just doing the 10 seconds try to tap 5-6 times consecutively maybe to reproduce the error...

Thanks for the extra info, I was able to reproduce the fast forward issue. I've reopened #72689.

Update: I've noticed a pattern and the issue seems to reproduce every time

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to any youtube video.
2. Play the video.
3. Wait for the media player to disappear.
4. Wait for another 10 seconds.
5. Swipe up over the video (without triggering the media player).
