I have tried changing camera permissions as per the specific steps in related support threads:

   * Clicked the menu button and selected Settings.
   * Clicked Privacy & Security from the left menu.
   * Scrolled down to the Permissions section.
   * Clicked the Settings button for the Camera option.
   * No websites with saved Allow permissions were displayed, so I pasted in the URL of the site that needed camera access.
  * The Status dropdown did not open up with any options.
  * I clicked the Save Changes button at the bottom but my changes weren't saved.
  * I have uploaded the screenshot taken. 
  * I also went through similar steps on the Page Information screen via the Permissions tab and changed defaults but, again, changes made were not saved

I switched from Edge & Chrome to Firefox today [12Apr2023] but have been quite frustrated/disappointed at the lack of functionality and relevant support. Please help!

So I know this has been talked about, but none of the "Solutions" work. I'm not sure why or whats causing it, but my YouTube never loads fast, or hardly at all. Usually the video only loads/buffers till about 1 min into any given video. Mind you this is only on 720p or 1080p HD. I never go any higher and my internet speed is ~400Mbps down and ~22Mbps up. I've already tried the following:

1. Disable Hardware Acceleration 2. Clear Cache and Cookies 3. Refresh Firefox 4. Check HTML 5 Video Player 5. Made sure Firefox was updated

I do use some extensions like: - Dark Reader - Privacy Badger - uBlock Origin - Bitwarden (Shouldn't affect) - Honey (Isn't turned on for YouTube) - Enhancer for YouTube (New, so it does not affect load)

Any Suggestions?

Hi,

I am trying to clear my Firefox history, and every time I clear it, the same four websites remain in the history panel. I've tried removing them one at a time, but they just reappear when I restart the browser. I've tried everything I can think of, and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

For the past three days I have been disappointed to find the error message, illustrated in the screenshot, when I open Hotmail/Outlook/Login live. It says:

Something went wrong. Please try the recommended actions below. Refresh the application. (in a button)

I've followed its advice, to no effect. I've re-booted and turned everything off overnight (twice) but it's still not working. This only happens on Mozilla Firefox, my preferred browser. I have done nothing to alter any settings or opened, or even received, any dubious emails. All the other saved sites and randomly visited ones are functioning as normal.

Any idea why this suddenly started happening? is it a Firefox issue or a Hotmail problem?

I have a Shokz headset with volume and pause/play buttons. I watch videos on my Samsung s21+ using Firefox (more privacy, and easier to have multiple videos up with tabs comparedto YouTube app.

It worked fine up till today, when the pause/play button no longer does anything. I tried restarting the phone, closing and opening the Firefox (Ff) app, force-stopping the Ff app, and turning the headset off amd on. The headset functions correctly in other apps, just not Ff.

I don't want to uninstall and reinstall Ff if I can avoid it, but would that even work? I've done all I can short of that, but it still doesn't work.

It would be nice if once more I could arrange the order of the Youtube queue of selected videos to watch. I could do this and did so everyday until the 112 Firefox update. Do I need to revert to a previous version?

I know well this is my fault, I messed with the user.js of chrome and put a new one in, now I have problems on a lot of websites, the main one being Twitch.tv. The website itself works and I can watch streams but I can't login, everytime it says Browser not supported even if I am on the latest version of Firefox. Roblox also does this, it doesnt say browser unsupported but it just refuses to launch a game even after disabling and enabling settings. I have no idea what i modified to cause this, I also straight up deleted my user.js after the problem persisted but its still broken. Private mode doesnt help since it also uses user.js. Help? Thanks in advance and I wont respond instantly.
