I am running Firefox 144.0 on kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS I have lost sound on Firefox. I have opened the same sites in Chrome and the sound is working fine. It's only in Firefox. I have tried several sites including Udemy, YouTube, and radio programs, no sound from Firefox. The problem started in the middle of a Jit.Si session. All of a sudden the sound disappeared. I thought that restart Firefox would help, then restart the computer would help. But the problem has continued. The speakers is turned on the volume is up, just not a sound from Firefox. What to do?

What version of Firefox actually allows you to add extensions? I'm running the most current version of Tumbleweed that ships with 144.0. Attempts to add extensions just sit there doing nothing until I close the tab. This sort of worked some time ago (I forget the version) but the inability of Firefox to allow add-ons/extensions is getting to be a joke. There are other browsers out there, ya know.

Hello. I am using Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon and Firefox 144.0.2 When I use Google maps and the yellow small pointer (cartoon) to go on a specific street, the window come black when shifting to street view. My only extension is disabled, hardware acceleration unchecked, cache cleared and cookies cleared. I have made fresh install and nothing help. Troubleshooting mode allow street view to work fine but normal mode don't work. Google chrome work good. Chromium work good. And finally, Firefox work ok on my Linux mint LMDE 6.

Any idea where to go to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support

Hi there! I find the new sidebar (on the left for me) a great addition but is there a way to reverse the "top to bottom" tabs displaying order?

Not a way to move tabs, but a setting allowing, when opening a new tab (Ctrl+t), to place (and display) the icon on top of the tabs icons pile, not at the bottom.

I get that it's the opposite of the normal reading direction, but it's rather unnatural to go looking at the bottom of the screen for recently opened tabs, IMHO.

Thanks in advance if you can address this, or show me where I can find such setting.

Hey, I am currently working on an application where I want to upload files to a server using mtls via a webapp. The upload goes to another url and server than the one where the webapp is served from. If I test the file uploading without mTLS, it succeeds, and with mTLS enabled it also works in chromium, but in Firefox I get the following error: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at <url> (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null)." on the `OPTIONS` request before the `PUT` is done. The client and the server both have a certificate from a custom CA, which I imported into firefox, along with the private key. Does someone know what the issue here might be? I am suspecting that there is some problem with firefox loading the user certificate on the preflight request?

Consider the following scenario: I want to go to "nextcloud.com", so I go to the address bar and start typing. Unfortunately, I make a mistake, and the first character I type is 'b'. Firefox then offers the autocomplete "bc.co.uk", and highlights it. I type another different letter, the added autocomplete offer is replaced with the character I added, and it will try to offer another autocomplete suggestion with all the characters I have typed so far. However, I realised the 'b' was wrong, so I press <backspace> then start typing "nextcloud.com". Of course, the backspace key now only removed the autocomplete suggestion, leaving the original 'b' I typed (so I now have "bnextcloud.com"). My question: Is there a way set configure firefox so that the key sequence 'b' followed by '<backspace>' to return the address bar to the original (empty in this example) condition? If this means turning off auto-suggest, I am happy to do that, since I don't use it anyway.

Thanks.

Hello all!

I've started having an issue in the last few days, with apparently two separate Firefox installs. A few days ago I was greeted by a fresh, blank install of Firefox and had to set everything up and sign in as I usually would on a fresh system install. Today, however, I somehow managed to launch both of them at once (I don't know how, as I just use the UI shortcut). After closing both fully, I can now only start the "old" one via the shortcut.

OS: Bluefin / Fedora 42.20, Gnome 48.6

According to the list of flatpaks, only one is installed. Unfortunately that's roughly where my knowledge of Linux ends, so I can't troubleshoot this further. Help will be apprecciated, as I don't want to roll a die on which of these will start up every time I reboot.
