What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

• Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).

• Other web browsers play sound successfully.

• Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.

• Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.

• Changing to headphones made no change.

• Tabs are not muted.

• Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o

• Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.

• Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.

• Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.

• Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.

• Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.

• Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.

• Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

After Firefox requested to be updated, I lost all of my bookmarks. I tried to go in and "restore" them but there are no backups to restore from. How do I get my bookmarks back?

bold text I am booting up an older Windows 7 tower computer and wish to know how to update both Firefox and Thunderbird? The update popup seems to be stuck in download phase.

I understand POCKET to be closing and was prompted to download my 'Pocket List' to be exported before deadline to become inaccessible. I'm using the FIREFOX browser. I did so per directions. I received an email with link to download an archive of my pocket List. I can view in my 'downloads' a Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Value File. But it will not open. How do I open and access my Pocket List ?

I've had several days where I see this message and cannot sign in the Daily Mail (which I pay for) because I receive this message ecure Connection Failed

I cannot find a solution and it doesn't happen every time on the site but several times a week. I have VPN, and enhanced tracking which I've tried turning them off but I get the same reply. I'd like a fairly simple answer if possible since I'm not tech smart but need help to see if I'm doing something wrong. I did submit a complaint the Daily Mail who said the problem's coming from Firefox. Thanks for your help

I am a new convert from Chrome to Firefox and have been using OneTab to keep a list of current tabs. I recently started using Firefox TabGroups to create groups to store the tabs I open the most often. After a reboot, however, all 4 of the TabGroups I created yesterday are completely gone today. As I have a water-cooled system, and don't leave my computer on overnight out of best practices, I need to be able to shut down at the end of day and come back the following day and be able to use the same TabGroups.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

My son plays games on crazygames.com, which saves his game progress. Even though he is logged into the site, his game progress is cleared when it is necessary to clear the Firefox cache for troubleshooting purposes (I had to clear it a couple of days ago to get a password reset done on another site). Is there a way to restore the website history to get his game progress back? Or can I exclude this website so the cache does not get cleared? This has become very frustrating :(

My bank website asks for pin and password codes but each character option displays the fancy Firefox symbol which I can;t delete. The passwords for the site have never been saved but I can't enter the correct password characters because I can't override the symbol. I'm having to access this bank account on Chrome unfortunately. Most frustrating because the website is not listed in "Saved passwords" so I can't edit it! Thanks Mike Bathgate

I am using the latest Fiefox and i have disabled all adons i have tried everything I have changed my Facebook password every time i g try to share something on Firefox get a black box on the bottom right that says something wrong . I have tried to copy the entire hing but can not i got some of it I have even reinstalled firebox ans still can not share anything I have tried contacting Facebook but that does not happen no response i appears to work in Chrome on a noter Facebook account so it is Firefox. i will send you what i could get on the screen shot the part that is missing s the part that says something s wrong

I have a set of fields I usually input in https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui every time. In chrome, these the search fields are saved even when the tabs are closed and reopened. But in Firefox, these fields are not saved after I close and reopen the tab.

I have already created exception for https://stockcharts.com in Enhanced Tracking Protection and Cookies settings but the issue still persists.

Bonjour, Depuis 1 semaine à 10 jours, il m'est impossible de naviguer avec Firefox. La lenteur est exécrable. J'ai dû mettre 1 heure à pouvoir afficher cette page, incluant tout ce que vous faites pour décourager les gens de vous écrire. Votre dernière MAJ doit être ratée. Avec Edge, je n'ai pas ce problème. La navigation est fluide. Je vais aussi tester Chrome. Cordialement,

I've 3 Facebook Profile. One Is Default, Second Is Social Media And Third Is Work Profile. All 3 Profiles Settings Are Similar Like Remember History, Remember Cookies, Remember Site Setting Etc. I've Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Login In Social Media Profile. I've Gmail Login In Default Profile Where I Use Google Products. I Dont Have Social Media Accounts Logins In Default Profile But Still In Settings->Privacy & Security->Manage Data. It Shows Facebbook, Instagram, Twitter Cookies And Same Shows In Work Profile. But When I Clear Facebook, Twitter, Instagram Cookies From These Profiles, All Social Accounts Logins Are Automatically Signs out In Social Media Profile But Cookies Shows In Social Media Profile. Another Instance, I've Gmail Login In Default, But Google Cookies Shows In Another Profiles Too. And When I Deletes From Their, Its Logs Me Out Here In Default Profile. So My Question Is, Whats The Point Of Having Facebook Profiles? And Because Of This Reason I've To Set Settings To Remember History. Still, It Logs Me Out From My Accounts. And It Happens Every Single Day. Totally Frustrating, Annoying. And Because Of Frequent Log Out, Login Issue My Google Account Was Blocked By Google. Need Solution On This Issue.

Hi Mozilla community,

I’m experiencing some slowdowns in Firefox whenever I browse image-heavy restaurant websites. A recent example is when I tried to open the Tim Hortons lunch menu—the page took longer than usual to load, and some images weren’t displaying properly.

I’ve cleared the cache, checked extensions, and even tried private browsing, but the issue still persists. Could it be a rendering or image handling setting in Firefox that needs adjusting?

For context, here’s the exact page I’m referring to: 👉 https://timhortonsmenuprices.ca/tim-hortons-lunch-menu-with-prices/ – it’s pretty detailed and might help illustrate the problem.

Would appreciate any tips or tweaks to optimize Firefox performance for this kind of content. Thanks!

I would like for the link to open in a new tab AND stay focused on the previous tab with search bar firefox suggestions still open. Even if I hold SHIFT to not lose focus on current tab it CLOSES the search bar suggestions! I then have to type in what I was searching for again. I would like to quickly open every link via a certain keyword in search.

"When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in Settings > General > Tabs is NOT selected. And even if that helped it would still close the search bar after middle mouse clicking a link.
