Firefox Community Forum

Hi

I am new to firefox and i need to use a mic for some close captions i use. I went to the settings -> privacy & security -> Microphone but when i click on it, it only tells me sites that i can allow or block. Even when i am on the website with the allowed mic, I can enable the closed captions because firefox isnt allowing me use a mic. Is there a way to fix this because I have to still use chrome because of this and its really frustrating

I am confused. I'm an older guy. I don't use VPN. I have noticed that while I live near Kalispell, Montana (NorthEast MT). FireFox thinks that sometimes my PC is in the Seattle, WA area or the Phoenix, AZ area. I am tired of getting local ads for tires, hair salons, etc. in these states. How do I get FireFox to realize I am not in these states and to relocate me back to Montana?

I am using win 11

Per [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-personal-device-local-networ...] I was looking for Settings > Permissions > "Local network devices" but the option was not present.

Looking at about:config network.lna.blocking I found it set to "false" by default. Only after I changed this to "true" did the UI shows the "Local network devices" configuration option.

Why is this disabled by default? Isn't this a security risk? It seems like users should be notified by default and have the option to block these requests.
