I'm having problems with a website constantly asking me to accept cookie permissions. It happens on some other sites occasionally, but this particular site is one that I use each day.

When I visit the site I get the cookie permissions box. I click accept all cookies. No matter how many links I click I am presented with the box yet again. It doesn't happen with Chrome, Edge or Brave.

When i do update my configuration settings changing by itself. Example, "browser.cache.disk.enable" is "false" but after every updates its always changing to "true". This happens only after updates.

Approximately 2 years back, for a short period of time, FireFox let you choose an audio output device in video conferencing web apps, through the web app directly.

This seems to be gone now, but I'd like to turn the feature back on.

It's very problematic to have to change your default audio device for video calls, as your computers sound effects and whatnot will also play in your headset as well, where as before, all you got was the audio from the video call in your headset.

Is there a way to turn this on again? Owl Practice (one of the VC web apps I use) still shows the different output devices, but regardless of which one you pick, it always comes out the default device. For a while this feature actually worked, but now it doesn't.

Is there a setting I can change? Maybe in about:config?

Thanks!

I need to connect to my employers Citrix portal tot start a Citrix session for my daily job. The problem is that when try to login using my credentials nothing happens except for the loading icon of Firefox that keeps "spinning" (see image).

When I do the same in another browser, like Chromium for example, everything works fine.

I already tried the following steps:

- Installing an older version of the Citrix Workspace app - Reinstalling Firefox - Disabling the blocking extensions

I am using the following versions of components:

OS: Linux Mint Vanessa 21 Citrix Workspace app: 24.5.0.76 Firefox: 129.0

Other colleagues report the same issues when using Firefox whether in Windows of Linux.

Any help would be much appreciated?

Hello all, I recently made the change from chrome to firefox and have been loving it so far. The only issue is; when I have a youtube video open while playing minecraft, the video lags and the audio skips. It never buffers and I have a great fibre Ethernet connection. When I try on chrome it doesn't happen. Only on firefox.

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

I use Lastpass to manage my passwords. I have always accessed the Lastpass facility via the Lastpass Extension. However it's just stopped functioning (in the last week). I click on the extension (top right of my browser screen). It invites me to click on 'Vault'. But when I do, It takes me to an empty Lastpass page. (See screenshot, attached.) When I use this same approach using Google Chrome - no problem. So the problem seems to be with the Firefox platform.

Playback of videos on the invideo.io site is not supported. Also the Tiktok account page for uploading videos says Firefox is not supported. Both sites recommend Chrome or Edge instead. I'm using the latest version on my laptop. Firefox is my default browser so would like these sites to work.

When I login to my Virgin Mobile Canada account (at https://www.virginplus.ca/myAccount/logon-smart.do), it displays the error:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. The URL for the error message starts with https://www.ges.bell.ca/siteminderagent/SmMakeCookie.ccc?SMSESSION=

After getting the error, when I got back to https://myaccount.virginplus.ca/, I find that I am logged in. Also, I do not get this error with Edge.

Cheers,

I just noticed after an update today that the Mobile menu entry (with bookmarks from my mobile Firefox instances) no longer appears in the browser's Bookmarks menu. I can access them from the bookmark manager, but this change seems extraordinarily stupid and arbitrary and is a definite step backwards.

I have a new desktop. I checked the box in Settings to "Always ask you where to save files." However, it's still dumping files in Downloads without asking.

Why, and how do we correct that?

FireFox 129.0.2 (64-bit) - This issue persists across updates.

If a YTTV tab is left inactive for a few minutes, the keyboard shortcuts (ex: 'm' to mute) stop working until the page is interacted with again using the mouse (clicking on mute/volume, stop/start the stream etc.) The stream plays normally otherwise.

I'm not sure if this is related to YTTV, Firefox, extensions or Windows (Win 10 Pro)

Extensions: UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, MalwareBytes Browser Guard, Old Reddit redirect and Reddit Enhancement Suite

15-30 tabs are normally open. Firefox is currently using 2.5Gb memory (32Gb installed).

Privacy Settings are set to custom (image attached).

I'd like to be able to see the help page on audible in desktop browser I can still open the help page in chrome but not Firefox and it is annoying having to switch browsers.

It looks like firefox recently updated with new privacy features (great!) What's not so great is that now it forces me to log into gmail each time I open a new browser window (not great). I have several different accounts that regularly use so this isn't ideal.

I've tried adding both gmail.com and google.com as exceptions under the cookie settings (didn't work). I even went and turned off the "enhanced tracking protection" on every step of the gmail login page and my inbox. Still kicks me out once I open a new browser. Any help to remedy this problem would be great.

How do i keep my work computer browser seperate from my home browser account???

Somehow out of the blue my home firefox account became my work firefox account? All my work shortcuts or bookmarks appeared at my home but i dont want them.

Hello, PG&E just updated their webpage and it doesn't allow me to sign in. It informs me that Fire Fox isn't a compatible browser, all other websites are fine. It suggests Chrome as the preferred browser. We pay our utilities through their site and we enjoy Fire Fox.Can anyone help resolve this issue? Thanks

How come FF translates sites in tiny, irrelevant languages like Bulgarian, but not from major languages like Chinese and Arabic?!?

I wish I could dump Edge, but this FF deficit forces me to keep Edge on my computer...

I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 which came with FF 129.0.2. I had a backup of my bookmarks which I imported from an HTML file, and now they're a complete mess. :( When I go to Manage Bookmarks, it shows they were imported in separate folders, in a certain order, but the folders are not showing when I expand the Bookmarks menu, nor do all the bookmarks. In small letters above it says "Recent bookmarks" followed by a mix of bookmarks from different folders; and not all the bookmarks are there. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this

A white horizontal line in the top of the screen, whilst watching movies in tv5mondeplus.com. This issue happens when installed the recent update 129.0.

Tested in other browsers and doesn't appear the white horizontal line on top.

On two occasions all of the favicons for my Bookmarks have disappeared. The only way I have been able to restore them is to open each bookmark using "Open All in Tabs" for each Bookmark folder. As I have many hundreds of Bookmarks, this is an extremely time consuming process. I have done this twice. I have just encountered a third instance of this problem and would like to avoid doing it again if there is any other way to restore the favicons.

I had saved the favicons.sqlite files from the Profile, but I am unaware of any way to restore the favicons directly from this file. The favicons.sqlite file appears to be of the proper size, i.e. ~17KB. On the last occasion, following a suggested solution, I rebuilt the iconcache hoping it would also rebuild the favicons, but that was not the case. As a result, I used the above process.

Any solutions to restore the Bookmark favicons without opening all with "Open All in Tabs" would be greatly apprecuated. I don't know what has caused the favicons to disappear. I am running Firefox 129.0.2 on a Windows 11 Pro PC.
