Firefox on Android keeps Shutting off VPN When I close the program despite unrestricted and running in background

Good morning. I am running Firefox Mobile v. 155.0 on Android 16. I am using the built in 50GB VPN. However when I close the browser as opposed to minimizing it so it is not running constantly when I again open it the VPN is now set to off and has to manually be turned on every time. I went into the app settings and allowed Firefox unrestricted usage and the app is allowed to run in the background. Neither method works and I am trying to see if anyone has any suggestions as far as settings of possible workarounds. Or if other users are having the same issue. I do not want to pay for the Firefox VPN and do not want to use another paid or free program, if that helps.

Thanks in advance.

This experimental "Permission" program and repeated new downloads several times weekly, are driving me crazy. Mozilla started this without notification/explanation.. Had no idea why I received frequent annoying downloads and popups for Permissions. A little bit intrusive don't you think? Stop it. No description applies in this circumstance.

firefox on windows 11, keeps blocking my camera and Microphone despite express permissions to allow, i look in permissions and the site is clearly marked to allow camera, but when i goto sitye, no camera or mic is allowed until i delete the permission that is supposed to allow it.

I have counselling at https://survivorswestyorkshire.whereby.com/chrissy

I allow my camera and mic.

I return to the site and it tells me camera and microphone blocked.

I goto0 settings>Permissions>Camera

It clearly states that the website is allowed to use the devices, but when on the website the devbices are blocked. Whats messed up is, if i delete your settings>Permissions>Camera, it allows me to use my camera and mic, until i refresh the webpage and its blocked again.

This makes zero sense and is every reason for me not to use Mozille Firefox as a browser at all.

As per the subject, I can't seem to get my webcam to start specifically on Google Meet on Firefox. The microphone works fine and the red webcam symbol beside the URL appears, but I do not get any video feed, only microphone audio. The webcam and microphone both function on https://webcammictest.com/ and I have allowed the camera and microphone privacy permissions for Google Meet on Firefox. I have also refreshed Firefox and they work just fine on Chrome, but I would still prefer using Firefox for my meetings. I am using Windows 10 22H2 and Firefox is at Version 136.0.1, which supposedly are up to date. Am I missing something?

I have tried everything. I've gone into the permissions, I have it set that everything is allowed. I reset and forgot the sites multiple times, zoom and Google Meets, and when I reload still the same issue. It says I do not have a camera. The camera works for both Edge and the camera app on my laptop. I even checked my settings on my laptop, and Firefox has permission to access my camera. However, in the camera request history, it does not show that Firefox asked for access to my camera. It also says the last time it accessed my camera was last year, but I have been trying to get it to work this entire time. I am updated with Windows 11 and the latest update of Firefox. How do I fix this? Is it an issue with Firefox or Windows?

When I make an online call through Firefox, I allow microphone permission, but there is no sound input. I also tested multiple voice websites, but none of them work. However, I can use the microphone using Edge in the same situation. I think there must be some problem with Firefox. How can I solve this problem? My system is Win11

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

After a recent update Firefox now often displays a Settings screen that appears over my open windows and tells me that I need to turn on Location Services.

This has never occurred before and Firefox has performed well for many years on both Windows 10 and 11. And no website or contact has ever complained to me about a lack of location information.

So is Location Services a necessity. And is it a benefit that I really should use?
