I am trying to listen to programs on pbsfm.org.au, a radio station. The livestream works but I am unable to listen to the saved programs. The Pbsfm website tells me to enable location sharing. However, pbsfm.org.au is not listed in my Firefox settings in the list of websites that have asked for my location, so I am unable to allow it through this list. I am attaching a screenshot of the program I am trying to listen to.

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 can't upload files such as photos to AI generators.When I try to upload the list of folders pop up but when I click on any of the folder the content I know is there doesn't appear. Why? At the bottom of this question area there is an image upload option but for some reason I am unable to access my files to upload. I am perplexed.

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

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.

bold text All I want to do is to allow websites to see my location. I am seek to purchase a new home and all the sites say that my location is blocked. When I go to Firefox settings, I cannot grant location access but have to list all web sites that want my location. When I attempt to list a website, I cannot. HELP.

after i turn on location in settings, i keep getting a notification that my shared experiences needs fixing and i need to put in my PIN every time. but if location is off, i stop getting the shared experiences problem.

A site tells me I need to add them in permissions for the camera and speakers, but since the site does not make an "electronic" request, it does not come up with a pop-up to add it, so I need to be able to add it manually, and I can't seem to find where to do that.

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?

Hello everyone,

Since Firefox version 150, when you want to share your location with a website, the location settings of the Windows Settings app open - provided that you have not allowed apps, or more specifically desktop apps or if the location service is completely disabled.

If you continue to deny desktop apps access by simply closing the Settings app and clicking "Cancel" on the "Awaiting Location Permission" prompt, "Google Location Services" will be used instead.

How do I know it’s Google? It says so here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/does-firefox-share-my-location-websites

The opening of the Windows Settings app can be suppressed by "geo.prompt.open_system_prefs" = false, and the use of the Windows location service can be disabled with "geo.provider.ms-windows-location" = false.

Is Firefox trying to move away from Google Location Services, or why was this changed without a simple option to choose? In my opinion, it would be useful if it were possible to choose the default location service directly in the Firefox settings. Not least because, in my tests, I found that "Google Location Services" are often more accurate and also because manually setting a location in Windows 10 is no longer easily possible since the Maps app was discontinued.

Thanks and regards, Martin

The newest update of Firefox makes my Windows Settings window pop up, and demands that I allow Firefox to access my location and or device.

This is unacceptable. That setting is greyed out on Win 10 machines....FIX FIREFOX. I am not buying a new computer just to use Win 11, which is nothing but spyware.
