I have Firefox version 97.0.2 (64 bit) for Windows. Lately, every time I start up the browser, it's trying to install an update. I haven't had this problem before with Firefox (and I've been using it for several years now). Is there something I need to do to stop this?

When joining a Zoom meeting hosted on the browser rather than installed Zoom app, my speakers are not working and the troubleshooting error messages says the browser is blocking zoom from accessing the speakers. I can't find a setting in Firefox preferences to block/allow it. Speakers work on YouTube/Vimeo with no problems (speaker volume 100% and not muted). Speakers had been working with Zoom until a couple weeks ago. I don't want to install the Zoom app just because Google hates privacy and and I don't want to help them own my privacy anymore than I must. I use DuckDuckGo for the default search engine, have Ghostery for an Extension/add-on, and have the Firefox browser set for private window always. I have tried various cookie settings for the Zoom meetings and even the dreaded "accept all cookies" and have Firefox cookie handling set to Standard, with deleting all cookies and history upon exit. I am on 64-bit Windows 10 up to date as of 2/16/22, Dell computer updated to same date, and latest update of Firefox 2/18/22. I have done a number of web searches and not finding the speaker topic or error message other than three unanswered help requests from others with the same problem dated from July-Sept 2021.

Hello,

I've set Firefox up to auto delete Cookies and Site Data when I close it. (Settings>Privacy & Security>Cookies and Site Data). I want to stay logged in to some of my accounts though so i added the Sites in question to the exceptions (clicked allow and save changes). The problem is, that only worked for one site so far and the others require a new login anyway. No clue how to fix that (the same solution worked in LibreWolf for some reason).

Thanks for your reply in advance, S

I'm not sure this is a problem with Firefox but I have run out of other options to look at. At first I thought it might be because the page uses a frameset (I know it's obsolete) so I created a version that uses an iframe instead. That way the html that needs to be acted on is not in a frame. It still doesn't work. I don't know why it works in stackoverflow's sandbox and jsfiddle but not on my website. Any help is appreciated.

Frameset version iFrame version

If you need to see the tabstrip code (it's virtually identical to the iFrame version): Tabstrip for frameset version

The script is supposed to hilite the selected tab with a red background. The rollover works fine (yellow background and brown text) but the selected tab color never shows up.

Also, there is no entry app.normandy.startupRolloutPrefs.print.tab_modal.enabled in my config.

I use Firefox to develop my organization's CMS, which uses HTTP Basic Auth. This stopped working suddenly - no basic auth prompt is shown as of 16 Feb 2022. There's no error in the window or console, my server logs a 401 as expected but I've no way to log in. It works fine on other browsers.

Presumably, this is due to the fact that the CMS runs on HTTP, not HTTPS.

Is there anything I can do? We need to keep this running on port 8080...

Hi everyone, I have created an extension that can be used from the usual position at the top right through which you can do some things, including open a website locally. To be clearer ...

Extension Folder: - extension.js - manifest.json - LocalWebSite (folder)

Inside the LocalWebSite folder: - index.html

Then clicking the button via the extension will load the local website. At this point, when the local website is opened it becomes impossible to trigger any button, modal, or whatever, it's a totally static page.

One important thing is that I don't want to replace the popup with the static page, I wish I could have both.

Extension Code: // SiteWebLocale function openWebSite () {

   browser.tabs.create ({
       "url": "./LocalWebSite/index.html"
   });

} document.getElementById ("openWebSite"). addEventListener ("click", openWebSite);

Local Website Button Code (It doesn't work): <button type = "button" class = "btn btn-danger" onclick = "alert ('ok')"> Action </button>

Hello,

How do I disable or remove these autofill searches that I do not use that appear at the very top. They keep appearing such as searching up gamestop it goes to gamefaq first or searching maps to get google maps, it gives my local city website map instead.

These have become a nuisance as I never visit these sites.

Thanks!

I am unable to log into my Ally Bank accounts using the latest version of Firefox. Ally keeps coming back with an unable to process the request notice. I AM able to log in using an older version of Firefox and with Microsoft's Edge. I lowered my security threshold, cleared the cache and cookies and even tried private windows. None worked. The problem is ONLY with the newest version of Firefox as far as I can tell.
