Firefox Community Forum

There is a website that when I visit it , it Firefox prompts me if I want to grant it access to Local Network Devices. The page continually refreshes, so the checkbox to "allow always" unchecks in a fraction of a second after I check it.

The result is the site is only temporarily allowed to connect to Local Network Devices but I want it to be permanent.

Since I cannot check the "always allow" checkbox, I'm looking to manually grant the website permission. Looking at Settings->Local Network Devices, I don't see a way to add a website to the allowed list.

Is there a work around I can use to achieve my goal? Perhaps something I can edit in about:config?

This experimental "Permission" program and repeated new downloads several times weekly, are driving me crazy. Mozilla started this without notification/explanation.. Had no idea why I received frequent annoying downloads and popups for Permissions. A little bit intrusive don't you think? Stop it. No description applies in this circumstance.

Hi, I've been trying to permanently allow (instead of the default Temporarily Allow) the Google Voice desktop browser permission to use my microphone and send notifications.

Whenever I open the Google Voice browser in the address bar, there is no option to have Firefox PERMANENTLY allow mic and notifications and REMEMBER THIS DECISION. When I go to into the Firefox settings under Privacy & Security -> Microphone, there are no websites listed in the box in order to allow access.

Is there a way to Permanently Allow the Google Voice website to use my microphone and send notifications and REMEMBER this decision?

Thank you for your advice! Lisa

Ever since the 152 update, every time I go to a Google website only, I am prompted to give Firefox location permission in system settings. They're definitely already turned on. It's so incredibly annoying I had to switch to Safari.

I am running the latest public stable release of Firefox, 151.0.1 (aarch64), and these last few weeks I've been getting prompted to grant my location over and over every time I do a Google search. In MacOS, I've granted Firefox location permission and I've repeatedly saved me giving google permission but it doesn't stop. This is happening on my MacBook Pro and Mac Studio.

Anyone else? Any tips? It's maddening. lol

How do I add ChatGPT.com to access my location? When I go to Settings, Privacy, Locations, I can type in the ChatGPT address, but cannot add it to the allow list.

I previously accidentally removed notification permissions from discord. I'm trying to reanable them, but even when i enable the settings in discord firefox will not give me the popup to turn on notifications. when i click on the usual permissions tab myself it simply does not show the notifications option. they are not blocked in my firefox settings, and other sites like youtube and twitter work perfectly fine

I can't seem to locate how to activate the microphone in the AI sidebar. I have Gemini selected, and when I hit the microphone to dictate I get the following message.. Unable to access the microphone. Please check settings.

I looked through Firefox settings and my laptop's but I don't see where it is turned off or asking for activation.'

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

I recently tried to connect to two different meeting sites. Both times I got a pop-up noting (correctly) that camera and microphone are blocked. I'm able to click to enable the microphone but I never get the option to enable the camera.

I tried going to Settings>Security&Privacy>Camera but that only allows me to remove previously-enabled websites.

Clicking on the settings button in the address bar shows audio and recording settings but no camera.

What am I doing wrong?

Fedora 42 Firefox 145.0

I got a prompt requesting i allow a midi device plugin to install but..... I denied and selected the "never ask again" option. Turns out i do need this device installed. How can i get the prompt back after i denied and checked "never again".

Thank you for your time.

Firefox show's my location when 'Googling'

In 'about:config' I have my geo set to disable, I tried it enabled and turning it back, also in 'Settings' Location shows empty and I can not get it to see Google nor can I manually insert it.

Any idea what is going on please??

I have read all your tutorials. I was unable to have an important televisit with my doctor yesterday because nothing I tried worked. I am unable to use webcam for other sites until I resolve this problem. Previously I had no problem with my webcam but recently had to get new pc with windows 11 & needs to configure my pc to address this issue. I have another appt scheduled with another doctor & need to fix this problem asap Thanks
