There is a website that when I visit it , it Firefox prompts me if I want to grant it access to Local Network Devices. The page continually refreshes, so the checkbox to "allow always" unchecks in a fraction of a second after I check it.

The result is the site is only temporarily allowed to connect to Local Network Devices but I want it to be permanent.

Since I cannot check the "always allow" checkbox, I'm looking to manually grant the website permission. Looking at Settings->Local Network Devices, I don't see a way to add a website to the allowed list.

Is there a work around I can use to achieve my goal? Perhaps something I can edit in about:config?

Hi The latest update 153.0 (64-bit) has a problem with setup geolocation. Previously, it was possible to change the location through (geo.provider.network.url), but after the update, when sharing the location, it asks for permission to share the device's location ( Grant Firefox location permission in system settings ) not the browser's location. If turn off location sharing in the settings, it stops location sharing completely. Is there a way to get this feature back like it used to be? Thank you

Trapped in Cupertino: Firefox permanently locks macOS virtual background (Apple Park Rainbow)

Hello Mozilla Team,

I am facing a glitch that is as hilarious as it is frustrating. Firefox has decided that my professional life must permanently take place under a massive, virtual Apple Park Rainbow. And I cannot turn it off.

The Tragic Backstory: This is the system-level macOS camera background. Usually, you disable it via the green camera icon ("pill") in the macOS menu bar. However, the moment Firefox accesses my FaceTime HD camera, the macOS camera menu completely freezes. It becomes unclickable.

What I’ve tried so far (and failed):

   Google Meet says "No effects applied". It has no idea the rainbow is even there.
   I used "Refresh Firefox" to completely wipe my profile. The rainbow survived.
   I forcefully revoked camera permissions via Terminal (tccutil reset Camera org.mozilla.firefox). Upon granting permission again, the rainbow immediately returned from the dead.
   Restarted the Mac multiple times. No change.
   Even opening the native FaceTime app to override the toggle failed, because Firefox seems to have locked the video pipeline down.

It seems Firefox is caching or hard-locking the macOS video effect stream and won't release it, while simultaneously breaking the OS-level menu bar toggle.

I love rainbows, but my clients during business calls are starting to wonder about my sanity. How do I force Firefox to drop this video stream and let me return to reality?

I needed access to an ftp server. I went to Cyberduck and thought I was downloading its software. Instead, I apparently clicked on an ad from that site instead. In the process, I had this bogus browser extension right next to my Facebook Container. ... I deleted it, but I'm still concerned about what I may have done/permissions I may have granted.

Please help!

This experimental "Permission" program and repeated new downloads several times weekly, are driving me crazy. Mozilla started this without notification/explanation.. Had no idea why I received frequent annoying downloads and popups for Permissions. A little bit intrusive don't you think? Stop it. No description applies in this circumstance.

Hi, I've been trying to permanently allow (instead of the default Temporarily Allow) the Google Voice desktop browser permission to use my microphone and send notifications.

Whenever I open the Google Voice browser in the address bar, there is no option to have Firefox PERMANENTLY allow mic and notifications and REMEMBER THIS DECISION. When I go to into the Firefox settings under Privacy & Security -> Microphone, there are no websites listed in the box in order to allow access.

Is there a way to Permanently Allow the Google Voice website to use my microphone and send notifications and REMEMBER this decision?

Thank you for your advice! Lisa
