    Do you have more information on this? I have an android gadget with google apps installed but I try to mainly use Firefox…

    I listen to bbc with this gadget when I take a shower in the morning before work…

    Recently, in firefox the sound started shutting off after a couple minutes, and I had to start using chrome…. I assumed it was something nefarious where they are trying to collect more user data…

    The gadget thinks I live in a random place on the planet and I don’t use it for anything other than a mobile game I play and movies and listening to the radio… anyways, I’d much prefer to use Firefox…

      I think this could rather be related to power saving if the screen is locked.

      I prefer to use a dedicated internet radio app. VLC also works if you obtain the direct stream (check online or play around with element inspector).
