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.

On google maps on Firefox, I updated my home address, but it loads up with my previous location, not my current one, how to make google maps open to my current location?

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

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.

I have an insta 360 webcam with Virtual Camera enabled. Is there a setting for Firefox where I can select from a list of available webcams (cameras)? I am suspecting it is trying to use either the integrated laptop camera or the Insta360 without using the Virtual software.

Thanks in advance for your help

I am running the latest public stable release of Firefox, 151.0.1 (aarch64), and these last few weeks I've been getting prompted to grant my location over and over every time I do a Google search. In MacOS, I've granted Firefox location permission and I've repeatedly saved me giving google permission but it doesn't stop. This is happening on my MacBook Pro and Mac Studio.

Anyone else? Any tips? It's maddening. lol

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Many thx, Manfred

I am using Windows 11 (Version 23H2, fully updated) and a Logitech C920 USB webcam. Before testing in Firefox, the camera works perfectly in Chrome, including Google Meet, as well as in the Windows Camera app. When Firefox is opened but does not access the camera, everything works normally in the system. When I allow Firefox to access the camera on a website requesting permission, the webcam initially shows a working preview inside Firefox. But, after the preview, the camera stops working in Firefox and shows a message asking me to allow devices again, even though permission has already been granted. After I test the camera in Firefox and then close it, the webcam stops working system-wide. Chrome then reports that the camera is in use or unavailable, and the Windows Camera app also stops working until a reboot. In addition, when this issue occurs, the Windows Settings page Privacy & Security → Camera loads continuously without finishing anything, but the contents are visible and clickable while it keeps loading. I have to reboot the computer to restore normal camera functionality. I wanted to use Firefox as my only browser, but this situation stops me from doing so.

Google is my home page. Every time I open the browser or return to Google, it request access to my location. I click "Allow" and I click the "remember this decision" box. I've done this repeatedly and still Google bugs me with an access requests. This started with your last update which included the VPN. I have a 2018 Mac Mini with macOS Sonoma 17.8.7.

How can I stop this annoyance?

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

Clicking allow acts like a snooze button 4 minutes later I got same warning again. Tried to clear google's cache (also all data). After (I guess) 4, 5 update issue still remains. I'm pretty sure there are lots of same question about this but I've checked community and reddit but no real answer so?

I'm in an Alzheimer's study that wants to turn on my microphone so I can do one of the things in the study but I can't find where to do this. I went to microphones and typed in the name Brain Health Registry but it doesn't give me a place to turn on the microphone. Hope you can help so I can finish their quiz for today. As far as I know, I have the latest version because it updates when it needs to but I couldn't even find the version I have.

When I visit a particular web site it requests that I grant Firefox access to location services. When I attempt to, the site's interface takes me to (Apple) System Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services and shows me the access status of the Firefox.app. The control next to it shows it as off. Clicking on the control to change it to on does nothing. The web site cannot access location services.

Location Services itself is on, as are permissions for several other apps (including Safari, which does not have this problem with this web site).

Within the Firefox apps own settings, location permissions for the site in question (scistarter.org) are set as Allow.

I'm on an iMac, running Tahoe 26.5. This problem does not happen on my iPhone running iOS 26.5.

Help?
