I tried logging into my account on a website. I decided to click on the passkey option to log in. Firefox had ask to access my passkeys and I mistakenly declined. But the pop-up doesn't happen again. It goes straight to "authentication failed" without trying to ask me again to access the passkeys. I don't see any setting for this in the settings page.

How do I change the permission to let Firefox access my passkeys? Or how do I make Firefox and Windows ask for my permission again?u I'd like to not have to reinstall Firefox if I could.

Firefox applet/wrapper for individual profiles constantly asking for system permissions on MacOS

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

When I make an online call through Firefox, I allow microphone permission, but there is no sound input. I also tested multiple voice websites, but none of them work. However, I can use the microphone using Edge in the same situation. I think there must be some problem with Firefox. How can I solve this problem? My system is Win11

I use google meet at work. Up until recently, things were working ok. Starting a few weeks ago (there were updates both to MacOS and Firefox), when I was in a meeting, the other side couldn't hear me even though meet said that my microphone wasn't muted. I then switched the meeting to Safari, and had no problems. I also noticed that when the remote party did a presentation, it did not show up when running on Firefox, but switching to Safari it worked. This is clearly a bug (or a miscoordination between Firefox and MacOS). Has anyone else encountered this? I'm running on a M4 MacBook running MacOS 15.3.2 and Firefox 136.0.1
