YouTube App Won't work with Firefox open.
When I am online I sometimes like to play YouTube vids. Since installing Firefox on my Moto G5 plus, whenever Firefox is open, the YouTube app stops playing after a few seconds. If I close the browser the app plays fine. I removed ad blocking extensions and it still happens so I'm not sure what's going on. I can use the app fine if other browsers are running, it only seems to happen with Firefox.

Hi
I think I might be able to help with that.
- Open the Android Settings app and select Applcations
- Go through each of the applications that you have installed and clear the cache (not data!)
Restart the device and you should find it is working a little better.
Ty for the suggestion, but the videos are still stopping. It's not lag, they literally stop every few seconds if I have Firefox open, but play fine if I close Firefox. I love the browser but may go back to Chrome.
Ty for your suggestion, but it didn't fix it. The videos don't lag, they literally stop and I have to press play every couple seconds if Firefox is running when I open the YouTube app.
Hi
Does the same thing happen when you use Firefox Preview (available from the Google Play Store)?
