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

Website: https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/view-item?i=119810&WINID=1764158938344 (for example) On Safari I see there is a message overlay from the website saying "press the command key to zoom the image". On Firefox, this message is not displayed, and the website is greyed out.

I have looked at all my settings: I can't see anything wrong. Any ideas?

I can't tell if I've got a browser hijacker. I'm on an android phone on Firefox and using duckduckgo. I have avast antivirus, but the free version. And in the last 24 hours, sometimes when I type inquiries, usually if its a string of letters and numbers, it will redirect me to a website unrelated to my search. For instance, typing in mig23(looking up fighter jet), it won't do searches and instead will take me to some UK boat website. "OICE", a typo, takes me to a NASA OIIR website. It appears to be close to whatever I typed in, but also doesn't happen every single time. This doesn't happen on my other devices, but it also doesn't happen when I use google in Firefox. However, it is possible that this happened on my laptop but I do not have access to it right now.

I am always in fear of viruses and I desperately want this to be a computer glitch. I cleared the DNS cache, I deleted some files and apps and rebooted and its still happening! I don't know what file could've done it.

При заходе на сайте ya.ru и если на нём имеется строка с видео или поиск с алисой, то начинаются сильные фризы. Это ошибка именно в firefox 142, проверенно.

Hello,

I have today encountered a reproducible issue with Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit) on my system (CachyOS Linux). Whenever I press the "Print" button in the printing dialog for a PDF file, the browser freezes and no longer reacts to anything. I had to kill the process manually and try again. I have then downloaded the PDF and opened a different application to print it - that worked fine. Is this a known issue with Firefox? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I already tried resetting the printer settings in the browser, but that did not change anything.

Thanks, Stefan

I have Firefox installed on three Windows Desktop Computers. On one, I just cannot delete Bookmarks, no matter what suggestions I try. Verify Integrity of the database produced no results. I do not, for a variety of reasons, sync bookmarks (or anything else) between the three installations. Experienced user that has spent far too long on what should be a simple issue.

After a re-start, my Firefox browser on a Dell laptop lost all history and has since also not been collecting websites visited. When opening a new tab, the shortcuts and recently visited websites are also gone and no longer being collected. My CCleaner recently updated itself to a new version but I unchecked the delete history for Firefox (which treacherously is clicked by default - I fell into that trap before). Happy to blame the new CCleaner but that would not explain why history is not being collected now - to me the fault seems to lie with Firefox instead. Another possibility that went through my mind: Is Microsoft sabotaging users of Windows 11 to force them to buy new? PS: Under "Privacy", "History", the setting is "Firefox will remember history", as it always has been and should be. But it has forgotten all previous history and it is no longer collecting any new history either!

Since v.145, comments have been blocked on some forums for me. https://thetyee.ca is one I use regularly, and the comments are blocked. (This is a Coral Comment site.) The spinning wheel just spins (see image 2 below) and sometimes resolves as "blocked" (see image 1 below).

On rare occasions if I delete all cookies, restart the PC and the browser in a private window only, I can sometimes get comments to come up with a "login page" that successfully lets me login, and keeps the link open for a few pages for that session only, but when I open a new session, comments are blocked again. They just don't appear. when I am successful, it looks like image 3 below.

I never adjust settings, and only occasionally delete cookies, so I've looked into other help articles in the forum that have pointed out enhanced tracker protection might be a problem: I have whitelisted all the sites I use for ETP but only one or two now sometimes work properly (using disqus) while the others do not. Tyee support is unable to help - they say very few have made any complaints.

There are other sites that limit my access or functionality now because they say "You have an ad blocker installed". I don't have an adblocker installed. I've never installed an adblocker. But that's secondary. Perhaps if we get this issue solved (due to a setting?), that second issue will go away too. Or maybe not.

I see it's simply not possible to get rid of ETP. Do I have to get rid of Firefox?

I'm using Thunderbird on Windows 11 with my Outlook email account. I can receive email, but when I try to send an email, it tells me the password is wrong.

[moderator note, the following is unrelated] When I check the password in the Privacy and Security settings, Thunderbird has changed the password to a long string of letters, numbers, and symbols. I enter the correct password, but it keeps changing back to the incorrect password. I have tried deleting and re-adding the account. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Same result.

At the moment all websites accessed through Firefox are all crashing after a few minutes and often a lot less. It is happenig constantly. It started before I updated Firefox today, but has continued after the update. Anyone know what's happening? I'm still on Windows 10 - will that be an issue?

Hello to everyone.

I hope I'm able to describe my frustrating situation.

It has to do with online buying via Internet combined with a transaction confirmation over my Banking app. The problem occurs when I try to book or buy anything with the use of my banking Visa card. After I filled every field necessary and proceed the transaction, the process "secure by Visa" starts, where I have to commit, that I am the proper owner of the card. Concrete: I receive a message from my banking app where I have to confirm the transaction. After I confirmed it and the return to Firefox, the page reloads and everything I did before is gone... means: no buy, no booking was made... This can be repeated until the end of days without any success. The bank is not able to help me. According to them, everything work fine with any client.

One question for the start of the discussion... why is the page loading, why the page doesn't stay "stable" until I return from the banking app?

Thank you for your help.

This is a new problem, and I don't know why - nothing has changed on the account. When trying to send an email, I get the message Sending of message failed. An error occurred while sending mail.The mail server responded Relay access denied. Authentication required. Please verify thst your email address is correct in your account settings, and try again. I have checked account settinga, and the address is correct. However, the 'from' address at the top of the email to be sent gives our names (Iain & Sue), the correct email address, then repeats the email address, then Cc Bcc. This does not seem right. Can you help, please? Iain Harrison

hi, if i sync 2 t/bird installs which one will install its personal data on the other pc?. the same question also applies to my f/fox install if anyone knows

win 10 tb145.02

thanks very much if anyone knows

I have recently switched computers, and since it has been a while, I can't remember the setting on the 'about:config' page that I need to change to where when I open a new browser tab, it opens at the end of my list of tabs, rather than as the next tab. Thanks!

When I am typing an email in Thunderbird, regardless if I have my font size preset to Extra Large, Large, or Medium, the font that appears in the email while I am typing the email, is very tiny, so tiny it is hard for me to read it. Yet when the email is received by the recipient, the font appears the correct size as selected in composition settings. How do I fix this?

On a new computer, I entered a new Mozilla password, and Mozilla on new computer won't sync with my old bookmarks, which still are on old computer.

Sync doesn't add these bookmarks.

Both computers now sign in with new PW. I can't go back to old PW (doesn't have current standards).

How to get sync to work, and get my bookmarks on new computer?

how can a firefox145 (on Win11) update be rolled back?

it seems update 145.0.2 has killed all audio in firefox. Other browsers and programs have functioning audio. But nothing restores audio in FireFox after the update. I have closed and re-started FF - even hot and cold reboots of the machine. It is clearly a FF issue. The only solution appears to be a roll back, unless there is a preferences line that might have been shifted.
