How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?
How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • IOS music player audio gets paused when switching to AIR app

    Hi,
    iOS default music player's audio gets paused automatically whenever I switch to an AIR app.  Is there a way to keep it playing?

    I believe this issue occurs only between songs that iTunes has converted to a lower bitrate for you during transfer to your iOS device and songs that it has not done this for. Take this Between the Buried and Me album, for instance. I have marked all of the transitions that should have been gapless but probably aren't in red. I know for sure that most of these marked transitions are indeed broken and that the most of the transitions not marked in red work flawlessly... I honestly can't remember whether or not some of these transitions were gapless or not, but the many transitions I do remember working or not working match up exactly with whether or not the songs on either side of the transition were also on other sides of the 256kbps threshold, the threshold at which I enabled iTunes to convert tracks to 256kbps AAC.
    I'm going to try re-sync'ing my library with that "feature" disabled and see if it fixes my gapless playback problem. Will post the results once I test it out.

  • [Flex 4.5.1] How to prevent Radio Button from being selected when clicked on? No Changing Event?

    I have a very common use case where you have a few radio buttons and only one can be selected at a time. Some of them are basic and on click should be selected right away, but other are more complex and open a pop up which requires some additional user selections after which the user selected OK or CANCEL for example and only after that the selection of the radio button should be applied programatically.
    So to solve this issue I've come up with 2 workarounds:
    1) make the entire group, that holds the radio button, act as a button with buttonMode="true" mouseChildren="false" and programatically change the radio button within it.
    2) hold the current radio button selection in a variable and in the changeHandler of that radio button return the selection back to what was selected before. But this also causes a small flickering of the radio button which gets selected and deselected immediately after that.. not cool.
    So my question is... is there something I am missing that could do the job without these workarounds... like a Changing event which I use for the ButtonBar but I can't find on the RadioButton or RadioButtonGroup... thanks!

    Hi,thanks for the reply. Actually that was my third option, but not sure if it's very good also..
    Here is a simple scenario:
    User must select between 2 radio buttons:
    1) no volume -> sets variable volume=0 and selects the radio button (that is the normal use case)
    2) set volume -> opens up a pop up with a list that has a X button to close and 4 options: 25% volume, 50% volume, 75%, 100%
    At this point the set volume radio button should not be selected and the user has 2 choices:
    -> hit the X button to close - nothing changes and no volume radio button is still selected and volume is still = 0
    -> hit one of the volume % buttons -> the set volume radio button gets selected and the variable volume=25/50/75/100 depending on the button selected by the user.
    That's a pretty common scenario and it's bugging me that I can't easily alter the radio button selection logic since whenever I click it, it gets selected and I can't put a logic in between in a standard way. This should apply to any component with selection, just like ButtonBar has it with the Changing event.
    So is there any other more convenient way to accomplish this scenario that you could recommend?
    Thanks!

  • How to prevent a window from showing up when a program is launched

    Hi guys!
    I'm looking for a way to make run a program in an invisible way..
    I've managed to hide its icon from the dock, but I cannot avoid its maining window appearing when it opens...
    Could I solve this trouble by deleting some lines in the info.plist file?
    Thank you in advance!
    PS Someone posted the same question some moths ago,
    here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2630616?start=0&tstart=0
    but if I delete
    <key>NSMainNibFile</key>
              <string>MainMenu</string>
    the program doesn't work!!

    please define what you mean by 'in an invisible way', and please tell us what application you're talking about.  and it's really not a good idea to delete the reference to the nib file, because the nib can store a lot of information the program needs.
    you probably want to set either the LSUIElement key to 0 or the LSBackgroundOnly key to 1 in the info.plist file. The first can show windows at need, but doesn't otherwise show to the user; the second never shows anything to the user.  However, either might interfere with the operation of the app, depending on what the app is designed to do, and doing this might break the code signature for the app which will make the app un-openable until you reinstall the original.
    if you just want an app to open invisibly at boot time, that's a different issue.

  • How to prevent the logo from cutting off when making a pdf from a powerpoint presentation.

  • On switching to another tab in firefox, it refreshes automatically! How to disable this auto refresh as it interrupts work? Help!

    If I have multiple tabs open at a time, say tab 1,2,3, and I happen to switch to see the tab 2 from the current tab 1, the Page on the tab 2 Refreshes/Reloads itself automatically!! This interrupts the work at hand! Is it possible to prevent this? What is causing this problem?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I switch to another window in Firefox for Mac?

    I often have multiple Firefox windows open. Does Firefox or Mac OS X provide a way to switch among windows?
    Normally I can switch from one window to another by Command-Tab, but when I have multiple Windows open for one application (such as Firefox), I only see the Firefox icon once, and so I only have the option to open one of the windows.
    (In Windows XP, the corresponding operation (Alt-Tab) shows the multiple Firefox windows separately. But under OS X I see only one.)
    Thanks for any help.

    Try Command+` (that is the back tick and is the same key as the ~ tilde, just above the tab key).

  • How do I disable the tab with 'Firefox for Android' advertisement ? It is freaking me out

    Every time I open the Firefox browser, a new tab opens up with the ad suggesting me to try Firefox for android mobile. This is additional tab along with my regular home tab. My browser version is Firefox funnel cake 22.0 . It is freaking me out as this happens every time I open the browser. Provide me a solution or tell me to switch to a different browser. I mean who is the dumb idiot who suggested this idea ? Really ?? you want the add to stay there and irritate users everytime they open it ?

    Try to change your new tab by going to about:config, and in that address bar type in browser.newtab.url, right click it, and then hit modify. There will be a window that pops up that will let you type in the address you want to show up in your new tabs. There also might be a warning when going to about:config, but just accept it if it's there.

  • How to rearrange (sort) tabs in Firefox for Android?

    On Firefox for Android, is it possible to rearrange or sort open tabs? On Chrome for Android, it is a simple drag and drop process. I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out and, so far, it does not seem possible to me (which I find hard to believe).

    HI, Sorry right now, firefox don't have that option.
    You can provide your feedback, so it will helpful to add this features to upcoming firefox version

  • Video playback from PB17 to Sony TV firewire port ?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to get video playback from my PowerBook 17 to a Sony HDTV firewire port ? I can't see in prefs where you can do this. Is there some software that enables this? I tried to select firewire playback from Final Cut Pro even and that didn't work either. The TV recognises the Powerbook. I don't think it's possible but why not try?
    Powerbook G4 1.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 GB RAM + I want Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB HD

    This is what abrody has to say on the subject.
    Yes, but only at 720 x 480 resolution. Some TVs offer higher resolutions and DVI ports where you can do a DVI to DVI connection. And actually there was a dongle which came with your Powerbook which supports S-Video via its S-Video port.

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

  • When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

    When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

    Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
    You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.
