If you don't want Firefox to pause the video when you turn off the screen, just switch to desktop mode. Also... you should use something like Newpipe instead...

Firefox on iOS is pretty lame. No ad blocker and no extensions.

Desktop mode on Android's Firefox doesn't require extension... if it's not available on I-Phone, it might be soon because I think that they are starting to allow alternate browser engines.

Sounds like a great reason to not use iOS.

Nah, Orion for iOS works great with built-in ad blocking and Firefox+Chrome extensions support, and the satellite SOS helps my family with peace of mind (I had to be helicoptered out of Nevada a few years ago). It's is way less bulky and less expensive than the inReach I used to carry.
