How do I keep Firefox from blocking Bluetooth?

For years, my Dell Latitude (Windows) laptop and devices connected to it via Bluetooth coexisted well. For this same time, I have used Firefox (latest version) only. The laptop connected to whatever Bluetooth device I was using and it worked when i used Firefox.

This changed about three months ago. According to my tech repairman, what has happened is that, although the (Windows) laptop connects with the Bluetooth devices, Firefox for some reason stopped allowing the Bluetooth signal to go through.

There has never been any notification from Firefox, never has been a way to edit a setting to allow Bluetooth to work, and no option(s) ever offered to allow Bluetooth to work.

Does anyone have a suggestion about fixing this; other than the obvious – use a different browser?

Thanks.

Hi

If you are trying to connect a webpage to a Bluetooth device through Firefox - this is something that Firefox has not supported for many years.

Is Windows connecting to your Bluetooth devices?

I would run the intel app to verify that your bluetooth driver is current. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
