In this way we will be able to play all this multimedia content, as long as let’s have notifications active for firefox on android. This option is available in Firefox from the settings to go to the notifications and thus activate it; the one that comes by default.
Now all we have to do is go, for example, to YouTube to play any video, we return to the home screen with the home button or this gesture from the bottom, and go to notifications to find the Firefox panel. We click the play button, and that’s it, for our favorite music or a podcast to start playing; also try turning off the screen to verify that it works without problems.
