I'm seeing a black non-clickable (no link) box on Mobile Firefox instead of video links which worked yesterday on desktop Firefox (all posts, not just mine):

Does anyone know what broke?

Not sure if still true but YT videos wouldn't stream smooth on Firefox some time back so I switched to Brave. Brave streams smooth with no ads.

Firefox probably, but maybe a phone update. Make sure your Firefox is updated and restart your device.
Updated Firefox on Wi-Fi and restarted, no beans. Don't want to update the OS and then have to relearn the phone to find a bunch of stuff doesn't work in the new OS and other things are 4 layers deep. It's a tool, not a gaming platform....

The big thing is they updated DeX and removed features. Samsung partnered with Google to add DeX technology to Pixel, and somehow that made DeX worse--likely unifying code so the same code works on Galaxy S-series and Pixel, but it's a step backward for Samsung users.

I'd rather upgrade my hydraulics than fight with my phone, that's how you know I'm old. Companies brag they have more AI in new phones and it does way more...like I need that. It keeps replacing my words with wind --funny it just did it, replaced "wrong" with "wind"... If it overrides my typing and messes it up I sure don't want it in every aspect of the phone.
