Hi, thanks for reporting.
I was unable to reproduce this issue on Firefox 124.1.0 or on Nightly 126.0a1 from 29.03.2024. I've tested it on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 14).
In order to further look into the issue you're experiencing, could you please provide the following additional information?

• A link to the website on which you encountered the issue;
• Video recording of the issue;
• Could you please confirm if you're encountering this issue on the latest Nightly build?

Thanks!

This happens on any YouTube video or video on ANY site. Here's one:

Attachment: Screen recording of issue

Video showing the issue on an S24+. Loading wheel appears when Bluetooth device is connected, then fixes itself, though audio is still desynced. Then when device is disconnected the loading wheel appears again but the video cannot resume playback until Firefox is closed and reopened.
