No audio on Firefox. Google Chrome has sound. Settings at normal audio volumes. Tried computer shut off and re-boot. Tried reload of Firebox.but that didn't help. Had scam attempt just before no audio issue...not sure if that problem.

That’s definitely concerning, especially after a scam attempt. If Chrome has sound but Firefox doesn’t, it’s usually a browser-specific setting or permission issue. Check the tab mute icon, Windows volume mixer, and Firefox sound permissions first. You might also want to run a malware scan just to be safe. I’ve had similar situations and started logging issues and fixes in Phonexa, which made it easier to spot what changed. Hopefully it’s a quick fix and nothing serious.

Thank you for the very helpful reply...but the issue remains. The mute/un-mute / sound volume / automatic sound authorization affirmed / and I ran a system restore to day before issue. It was unsuccessful so I turned off my anti-virus security (WebRoot) and tried re-running restore...but again, it said unsuccessful. Earlier I reloaded Firefox and have shut down and restarted computer numerous times. Still no Firefox audio. I also ran WebRoot scans several times and they say no issues. I am thinking this is maybe unfixable.
