How can I watch and listen to a video, and listen to another one, at the same time?

Dear Mozilla Community I have a Lenovo Yoga Book laptop-tablet, hybrid computer with Android. Everything works well, but in my old laptop with Windows and Linux Ubuntu, I could watch and listen to one video and listen to another video, that is hidden (opened on a diffrent page). Unfotunately I can't do that on Android. Strange thing is, that I can listen to the video, that is hidden (opened on a diffrent page) but only, when I turn off the sound of the video I am watching watch. The other strange thing is that one I was able to to watch and listen to a video and listen to the sound of another video, opened on diffrent page. So, it looks like, this is technically possible. I tried Android settings (including desktop options settings,) and my browsers settings, but nothing works. However, I might have missed something. I need to watch and listen to a video, and listen to another one, with music at the same time; it helps me in the learning of a language. Maybe you know, some good software app or browsers, that can solve this problem? Currently, I use FireFox Beta, FireFox and Chrome browsers.

I have also a question about subtitles, is there any app or browser that can offer good translation, when a video on youtube, does not have translation options? Could you also tell me please, what may be a reason, that I watched a youtube video, that had translation option and now, this video doesn't have any translation option? Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you very much for helping me.

Hi

Please appreciate that Android is designed to run on smaller lower spec devices where is it less likely that the devce will support running two videos at the same time.

You may wish to try Firefox Preview (available from the Google Play Store) to see if that handles multiple videos any differently.
