I am a Firefox user for the last 20 years. I frequently use Google Translate, and I depend on the voice-to-text feature. However, when I try to use it in Firefox, I get the message: “Voice input is not supported on this browser.”

Because of this, I am being forced to switch to Google Chrome, which I don’t really want to do. Is there any workaround, add-on, or upcoming plan to bring proper voice input support to Firefox?

Hi, so my problem is I need to keep using the keyboard for surfing the net on my Windows PC, because of pain issues with using the mouse too often. The most difficult part is that Firefox comes with a lot of these top-most balloons with feature suggestions like "did you know you can use an AI bar now..." etc.

Btw, I don't mean any popups from websites. Mozilla just shows the feature info balloons (or tool tips?) when you are on a website, but it's never the website that bothers me.

There is no way to hide these mozilla popups using the keyboard except opening a new tab with Ctrl+T.

So... is there anything to get rid off all feature-news or mozilla-suggesions etc?

Thank you!

How can I customize recommended stories so that only articles that require a sign-in to be viewed not be shown to me. If I see a story title that looks interesting and I select it and a sign in page immediately pops up (all of which I do not wish to sign up for just to read a short article) then it feels like another privacy grab.

So Im currently trying to watch young sheldon on netflix, and im doing it through firefox, and it wont work, it says error code f7701-1003, thank you for your time.

So there's a function where you select Korean character ㄱ~ㅎ and press Hanja(Han/Chinese letter) Convert key, you can convert it to special symbols

The issue is: when you press Convert key while inputting a word without space, it automatically selects the first letter of the word(Yes the text cursor moves front itself)

In every website includes search bar

You need to menually select a letter by mouse drag or shift key And then press Convert key to show the intented converting list

Idk how long it's been but the issue is pretty old

Additionally, you have intermittent Korean letter seperating issue, too("한글" -> "ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅡㄹ")

(For who suffer from the same issue, you can use Naver Whale browser instead)

Whenever I try to access Gemini at gemini.google.com, I keep getting a plain white screen with faded, almost hard to see elements that don't do anything even when typing in the input field. (see attachment 1)

I can access Gemini at Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com/) but the UI is also broken on that site, with wide fonts that overlap each other, making text hard to read (see attachment 2).

Firefox version used: 115.28.0esr (64-bit) OS: Windows 7 64-bit

For over a week, Firefox always displays the message "Our servers are experiencing problems with our services" when I try to view a TV program on YouTube TV. Opera, Edge and my iPhone do not have this problem. I notice that Firefox doesn't store my location in the same place other browsers do. Could that be the problem?

I hate it when I have to use a different browser.

I have some custom firefox applets that acts as wrappers around the command-line functions to open firefox with specific profiles (see image 1 of applets in Applications in Finder). Each application is a simple .scpt file that runs the shell script (see image 2).

This allows me to have specific app icons for the different firefox profiles in my user dock (see image 3).

The issue is that once the applet is used and firefox has been opened, there are issues with permissions. In settings, it is clear that both microphone and speaker permissions have been shared with the applets AND firefox itself (see image 4).

However, any time I navigate to a page, I get a dialogue asking if the applet (Firefox_Professional, in this case) can access the microphone (see image 5). Depending on the page, I can get 1-20 dialogues in a row. This makes firefox practically unusable since I am closing an average of 5 dialogues before I can view any page.

Does anyone know any solutions to this?

Thanks so much for the help! ~Alex

I can no longer enter a password on the login page at https://secure.bankofamerica.com/login/sign-in/signOnV2Screen.go. I was able to change my password but it didn't help. A BofA agent could not identify the problem and walked me through the login using Chromium.

Each day I get an email from Microsoft OneDrive with photos of the day, titled On this day"'. Clicking on a button titled "View all memories" on the email causes the photos from that day to appear as a new tab on Firefox. Perfect. Until a couple of weeks ago.

At that time, clicking on it caused the new tab to appear but no photos are displayed. The screen looks as if it's trying to load the pics, but nothing shows up. When I open up the OneDrive website directly, I can click on "Photos" and see ALL photos in my cloud account, and there is also a row at the top under the title "For You" which shows several clickable buttons titled "September <XXX>", "A new trip", "Revisiting <month XXX>", "Last week", etc. Clicking on each of those separately yields the same result as when I clicked on "View all memories" from the original email, which is that nothing is displayed but it appears to be trying.

Below the "For You" row is "All Photos" sections which has everything, but not organized like the "For You" row. It simply is the entire set of my pictures from which the "For You" buttons do their selection from.

I exchanged emails with the MS OneDrive support over several days, who made numerous suggestions, but none worked. We did determine, though, that the photos do appear seamlessly if I switch to Edge as the default browser, but I want Firefox as my default.

Because the photos did appear under a different browser, they suggested I contact Firefox, which I'm doing. And this is after I've tried all the suggestions contained in a google search I entered as: "firefox setting to allow microsoft onedrive photos of the day".

Understandably, I'm very frustrated and appreciate any suggestions anyone can provide. Thank you.

======================================

THE ISSUE: When opening Firefox, (Attachment #1 - below) appears. Seems to have nothing to do with any reality . . . as when I check in SETTINGS (Attachment #2 - below). 1. So, who's telling the truth? 2. How do I stop the popup (Attachment #1) from making it's nagging, inaccurate appearance?

Thank you / Nels

Moving Firefox over to a new computer, I know how to find the profiles via file manager- that is not my problem. I am not sure which to move, Local or Roaming. I am thinking Roaming as that has all my bookmarks and passwords. I have moved individual files from Roaming and do have bookmarks and passwords working on new computer.

But I was thinking it would be best to move the whole thing so I got the tabs that should be used on startup and maybe more I don't know. So I don't know if I should copy both over or just one. I did try both once and Firefox said it couldn't find profile (I renamed the old ones).

Thinking I may need to use about:profiles and select new one. Not sure what will happen, hope it lets me point to new file on my USB drive. Looks like I should use both local and roaming, but don't know? Local might be something that relates to hardware on computer.

Hope this makes sense?

Graphs generated by Google Gemini Pro 2.5 do not display in Firefox. They are generated and then quickly removed from the display by something in Firefox. I am not running any adblocker software or extensions other than anything that is native to Firefox. I have tried changing about everything possible in the privacy settings and have not been able to fix it.

Here is what Gemini says it does when it generates a graph versus a AI generated picture.

Data Visualization (The "Graph") 📊

When you ask me to "graph," "plot," or "chart" data (like a drag polar), I use a Code Interpreter.

My Process: I write and execute Python code using a data visualization library (Matplotlib). This code performs calculations and generates a brand-new chart from scratch.

Why It Fails to Display: The resulting image is a piece of procedurally generated content. The way it's embedded in the page is more complex than a standard image. Aggressive ad blockers or strict browser privacy settings often mistake this type of dynamic content for a pop-up, an ad, or a tracker, and they actively block it from appearing—which is what causes the "appears and then disappears" issue you described.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was going to random name generator sites yesterday and I went to one that is called www.behindaname.com and it 'dropped' a web app into my firefox browser somehow. I am running version 143.0.1

Now, there is an icon in the taskbar, right in the address box between toggle reader view and bookmark this page. When you hover over it, it drops a popup message "add tab to taskbar".

In my Windows 10 menu, it shows under recently added on the start menu, as "behindaname"

If you right click on this and click on 'open file location' it opens a directory "C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Firefox Web Apps" and in this directory is behindaname and under file type .lnk

If you right click on the recently added on start menu "behindaname", and select uninstall, it opens up the Windows 10 uninstall menu, but it isn't listed in there anywhere.

if you rightclick that behindaname.lnk and click on properties, under Target : it gives "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "-taskbar-tab" "b3fa7206-2a6c-4b7b-9427-c051524970ed" "-new-window" "https://www.behindaname.com" "-profile" "C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\1ippdfls.default-release" "-container" "0"

I would just delete the link, but since it is putting that icon on my taskbar and it is giving that target, it is hiding somewhere. I am just not up to speed on web apps and other browser malware, at least I consider it browswer malware, to know what is going on and how to completely get rid of it. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you, Steve

I have over 100 open tabs spread over 4 Mac desktops. I can no longer access ANY of them after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26 and installing ESET Cyber Security Pro. I've used ESET with Firefox for many years without ANY problems. But now I have to choose between uninstalling ESET and being unprotected in order to use Firefox AT ALL. Every single webpage is blacked out with the message below. ESET support says that Firefox needs to issue an update to fix this problem.

I can't find any of the website I saved under add to collections anymore. Is there a way to put them back one my home page?

Thanks for your time, Deanna Carder
