Firefox Community Forum

I previously accidentally removed notification permissions from discord. I'm trying to reanable them, but even when i enable the settings in discord firefox will not give me the popup to turn on notifications. when i click on the usual permissions tab myself it simply does not show the notifications option. they are not blocked in my firefox settings, and other sites like youtube and twitter work perfectly fine

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

Last Friday August 21 2026 my Firefox was updated from version 153.0.4 to version 154.0. Ever since then i can't use any of the Azure functions needed to see dead-letters in our service bus explorer. When i try the same in edge or chrome i get a prompt to allow access to local device network. Firefox doesn't show the prompt. In my settings no websites are listed in the Permissions and data list. When i look at the site specific permissions (shield button -> show site information -> permissions) it is set to default prompt. Clearing cookies or accessing through a private window makes no difference. I need to give Azure access to local network otherwise it throws a web socket error whenever i try to peek at any of our service bus messages. Anyone any ideas?

How do I add ChatGPT.com to access my location? When I go to Settings, Privacy, Locations, I can type in the ChatGPT address, but cannot add it to the allow list.

Firefox show's my location when 'Googling'

In 'about:config' I have my geo set to disable, I tried it enabled and turning it back, also in 'Settings' Location shows empty and I can not get it to see Google nor can I manually insert it.

Any idea what is going on please??

Ever since the 152 update, every time I go to a Google website only, I am prompted to give Firefox location permission in system settings. They're definitely already turned on. It's so incredibly annoying I had to switch to Safari.

Don't know how to describe the issue. I leave the computer on all night. In the morning, when I move the mouse to activate the screen, there is a large, 3-panel image with links to various websites. Today's panels are titled "Daily Wonder," "Hats Off to the Class of '25," and "Markets." A click on any of these panels takes me to a website. No idea how these panels are produced or by whom. If I try to take a screenshot, the images disappear and my normal home screen is shown. I do not recognize anything in the Task Manager that might explain this. Not sure if this is a Windows issue or a Firefox issue. Perhaps another user can ask me questions that will lead to more information.

Windows 10 version 22H2, OS Build 19045.5854.

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.'

Looking for a way to configure the "Share the screen" permission present in permissions for individual sites via GPO. I am aware of this doc but I can't find anything for setting this permission. Specifically, to block it for all sites with an explicit allow list.

The "Preferences" option won't suffice as permissions are stored in permissions.sqllite and are not part of the about:config preferences. The "Permissions" grouping lacks... the majority of the possible site permissions as well.

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

I have read all your tutorials. I was unable to have an important televisit with my doctor yesterday because nothing I tried worked. I am unable to use webcam for other sites until I resolve this problem. Previously I had no problem with my webcam but recently had to get new pc with windows 11 & needs to configure my pc to address this issue. I have another appt scheduled with another doctor & need to fix this problem asap Thanks

I got a prompt requesting i allow a midi device plugin to install but..... I denied and selected the "never ask again" option. Turns out i do need this device installed. How can i get the prompt back after i denied and checked "never again".

Thank you for your time.
