    This extension with ublock origin makes Firefox the only viable web browser on Android (if you use Firefox 69and older... They broke the extensions in the new version, which makes the new versions of Firefox irrelevant as far as I am concerned,so I keep the old one).

    It is now working for me on nightly on android. Most useful app along with an add blocker thank you for your service.

    Seit dem letzten Firefox-Update funktioniert dieses Addon leider nicht mehr!

    Marche parfaitement bien sur firefox 68. Par contre sur firefox nightly, le chargement de video se bloque environ 1 minute après avoir mis l'onglet en arrière plan.
    Je réinstalle firefox 68 uniquement pour votre plugin!

    Merci beaucoup.
    En ce qui regarde Firefox Nightly, le problème est à cause du Firefox, et c'est celui-ci: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/9691. Aussitôt que cet problème sera remèdié, le plugin devra fonctionner sans défaut à nouveau.

    One of the best/usefull addons. Sadly Mozilla team killed with this forced and unwanted Firefix update to 80* (less than beta quality product) :(

    Thanks. You'll be glad to know that at least in Nightly the add-on can be installed again as of now, although unfortunately background playback will still be rather broken due to Firefox currently being a little too aggressive in throttling background tabs.

    Great plugin. Looking at the firefox for android support linked on the "disabled addons" page it seems not to be the developers fault that the plugin is not yet available. See also github.com/mozilla/video-bg-play ... Anyway, I miss the plugin since the update ;-(

    At least in Nightly it can be installed again now, though unfortunately due to Firefox being a little over-eager in suspending background tabs it won't help much.

    It's already installable again on Nightly, although unfortunately this issue (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/9691) in Firefox needs fixing as well, so Beta and Release Firefox users might have to wait a little longer.

    this addon made using my phone far less painful, it was really nice to just... have music while doing stuff!!

    I was extremely disappointed when I opened my Firefox on mobile today only to find that my video background play fix addon no longer works because they no longer support Android. Why is this? This was the only reason I used Firefox on my mobile. Looks like I am looking for a workaround for this one.

(Any workarounds would unfortunately run into the same Firefox bug, so wouldn't really help either)
