I can't seem to locate how to activate the microphone in the AI sidebar. I have Gemini selected, and when I hit the microphone to dictate I get the following message.. Unable to access the microphone. Please check settings.

I looked through Firefox settings and my laptop's but I don't see where it is turned off or asking for activation.'

Dzień dobry Mam otworzone strony Facebook i Mesengera.com w przeglądarce i nie mogę wykonać połączenia wideo i dzwonić do osób prywatnych, na grupach to działa. Natomiast do osób prywatnych nie podświetlają się ikony telefonu i kamery i tym samym nie mogę się połączyć, jak to naprawić? W Chrome działa. Dzięki za pomoc.

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

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Whenever I load a website that needs location (for example, Google Maps or my province's lottery) and enable location permissions, the websites come back saying they cannot find my location.

I have refreshed Firefox, disabled all Enhanced Tracking Protection, disabled all extensions, and have even ran Firefox in Troubleshoot mode - all to no avail. Is there any way this can be fixed? These websites all work on Chrome and Edge and work on my Firefox for iPhone.

On Windows 10 22H2.

Just updated to FF 145.0.2 //on a Mac Os 14.7.7 yesterday

I *always* use private pgs for shopping then when I find what I want I go to a regular page to make my purchases then delete the cookies immediately afterwards.

Apparently now we can't block location settings ?? or a Do Not Track?? I opened a new Private browser window for a website that apparently immediately asks for your location and lo and behold there I am(!!) Shocked to say the least especially since sometimes in the past even when I tried to use my location for whatever reason it wasn't showing up precisely but in an area over 100 sq miles. So what's up? For many reasons I won't go into here I really REALLY don't want my location to be available.

Hi on this night sniffies.com it is a location based dating site and it says my location is not accurate because my browser settings when I go to browser settings it says that asked to allow is checked and that's all there is there's no other where to check other than blocked my location's not accurate and sniffy's insist it is to do with the browser I may have to using this browser I just downloaded it

I'm taking my bi yearly Brain test and it wants to access my microphone so I can speak into it but I can't figure out how for them to access the microphone. I've done what Windows told me to do, go to start>settings>privacy and security>Microphone and made sure it was turned on but that didn't work. Is there something in Mozilla that I can do?

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

I've blocked access to nearby devices without knowing that this would affect my local network websites. Now the option to change this on the settings simply does not appear for me. What can I do?
