Clicking allow acts like a snooze button 4 minutes later I got same warning again. Tried to clear google's cache (also all data). After (I guess) 4, 5 update issue still remains. I'm pretty sure there are lots of same question about this but I've checked community and reddit but no real answer so?

When I visit a particular web site it requests that I grant Firefox access to location services. When I attempt to, the site's interface takes me to (Apple) System Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services and shows me the access status of the Firefox.app. The control next to it shows it as off. Clicking on the control to change it to on does nothing. The web site cannot access location services.

Location Services itself is on, as are permissions for several other apps (including Safari, which does not have this problem with this web site).

Within the Firefox apps own settings, location permissions for the site in question (scistarter.org) are set as Allow.

I'm on an iMac, running Tahoe 26.5. This problem does not happen on my iPhone running iOS 26.5.

Help?

Firefox is requesting access to apps and services on local network devices. However, this is happening on my own website and none of the requests it's making is to local network devices.

I use Azure storage accounts for image hosting and I have noticed that until I accept the dialog, the images are not loaded. However, this is not my local network.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks.

I am trying to listen to programs on pbsfm.org.au, a radio station. The livestream works but I am unable to listen to the saved programs. The Pbsfm website tells me to enable location sharing. However, pbsfm.org.au is not listed in my Firefox settings in the list of websites that have asked for my location, so I am unable to allow it through this list. I am attaching a screenshot of the program I am trying to listen to.

After a recent update Firefox now often displays a Settings screen that appears over my open windows and tells me that I need to turn on Location Services.

This has never occurred before and Firefox has performed well for many years on both Windows 10 and 11. And no website or contact has ever complained to me about a lack of location information.

So is Location Services a necessity. And is it a benefit that I really should use?

A site tells me I need to add them in permissions for the camera and speakers, but since the site does not make an "electronic" request, it does not come up with a pop-up to add it, so I need to be able to add it manually, and I can't seem to find where to do that.

Hi

I am new to firefox and i need to use a mic for some close captions i use. I went to the settings -> privacy & security -> Microphone but when i click on it, it only tells me sites that i can allow or block. Even when i am on the website with the allowed mic, I can enable the closed captions because firefox isnt allowing me use a mic. Is there a way to fix this because I have to still use chrome because of this and its really frustrating

Google is my home page. Every time I open the browser or return to Google, it request access to my location. I click "Allow" and I click the "remember this decision" box. I've done this repeatedly and still Google bugs me with an access requests. This started with your last update which included the VPN. I have a 2018 Mac Mini with macOS Sonoma 17.8.7.

How can I stop this annoyance?

I'm in an Alzheimer's study that wants to turn on my microphone so I can do one of the things in the study but I can't find where to do this. I went to microphones and typed in the name Brain Health Registry but it doesn't give me a place to turn on the microphone. Hope you can help so I can finish their quiz for today. As far as I know, I have the latest version because it updates when it needs to but I couldn't even find the version I have.
