Sites like discord and webex meetings are not letting me use my microphone or webcam, not even prompting me for it. When trying to use discord mic I get this message (image attached).

Every time I enter a link to a google service, I see a notice that says "Your should be redirected in a moment..." and then I get redirected to the Stanford University website (https://pass.stanford.edu/signin.html). It is not a specific website redirecting me, but rather some algorithm is detecting a google link and sending me to Stanford University instead . For instance, if I paste in a link to a particular location in Google Maps, I will end up at Stanford instead. I have no idea how to fix this, but it makes me avoid Firefox and use Chrome because Chrome does not redirect. I would rather use Firefox.

The menu in selected websites do not show typical icons. I only see words and they are in large font; the words run over each other. (Please see attached screenshot for one website.) This issue renders functionality of the website inoperable. This issue happens to about 40-50% of the websites I interact with.

For the same website in Chrome, this issue does not occur.

How to fix this in Firefox? Thank you.

Monospace font not being chosen correctly when font-family starts with missing fonts

I've just started noticing in Firefox 99 on Arch Linux that Firefox is using the wrong font when the font-family is given as "ui-monospace/other fonts..., monospace". This looks similar to the issue mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1351497

The inspector for these websites underlines "monospace" as the active font, but then uses a non-monospace font (in my case, Bitstream Vera Sans) to display the content. This does not happen when the font-family is "monospace,monospace" or "monospace". I can't quite figure out exactly what causes the font to be chosen incorrectly: sometimes it does show up if I have the preceding fonts installed, e.g. Consolas or Liberation Mono, but other instances do not look as intended.

Currently, I have fontconfig set up such that: $ fc-match :family=ui-monospace VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman" $ fc-match :family=monospace VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman"

Firefox's fonts in about:preferences are configured as all defaults: Serif: Bitstream Vera Serif Sans: Bitstream Vera Sans Monospace: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

I don't understand why FitnessBlender.com looks all out of wack, it has been like this for as long as I can remember. Font is all crazy and overlapping, hard to even navigate the page. Have also noticed FF is loading everything slowly lately especially FB, which eventually stops loading as you scroll through the feed. I have cleared my caches etc to speed it up but has gone back to being slow. I have loved the concepts available with FF and hate to stop using it but it has become annoying.

Browsing on local development URLs derives on "Unable to connect"

Hi there,

I'm using my PC for local web development. I use Firefox as my regular browser and recently, in order to distinguish between personal time and development time, I've established a new profile just for development purposes.

The local website I can't reach is "site.local.dev". My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 and that URL points to a local IP on my network (resolved via /etc/hosts file on my PC).

Funny thing is that: - In dev-profile: site.local.dev does not work => "Unable to connect" and the URL bar shows https://site.local.dev even if I force it to http:// - In personal-profile: site.local.dev does work :P

I have tried with CLI tools like "wget", "hosts", "ping", "telnet" and so on and the site loads ok. Even I have used Dillo (damn simple web browser) and the site loads ok also.

Things I've tried so far: - Suggestions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can - Suggestions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011327 (similar issue, not exactly the same).

It must be a silly thing but I'm out of options now. Perhaps anybody has faced to this situation in the past: any suggestion on this issue?.

Thanks in advance, Ibon.

Video playback fails to load. When accessing videos from Crunchyroll on a Macbook pro running Monterey2.3.1 (21E258) from Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit), I see a spinning animation that never stops. I can access the same content from Crunchyroll by using Firefox from my iPhone without issue. I can view other streaming content like YouTube and Netflix without error. Is there a setting or other fix that I can employ to make this work? I have previously used a workaround with an extension that emulates a mobile environment. Unfortunately this no longer works. TIA for your help.
