Steps to reproduce:

It's really frustrating, YouTube videos are always playing in the lowes resolution or at 240p/360p. I need to manually change this to 1080p each time for every video.

I've tried using other (mobile) browsers like Brave and Chrome, which do work fine. It always choose 1080p or higher.

The YouTube HD add-on does not change anything.

Actual results:

240p/360p video playback on YouTube mobile website

Expected results:

1080p like seen in Brave and Chrome
