What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

  • Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).
  • Other web browsers play sound successfully.
  • Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.
  • Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.
  • Changing to headphones made no change.
  • Tabs are not muted.
  • Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o
  • Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.
  • Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.
  • Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.
  • Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.
  • Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.
  • Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.
  • Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.
  • Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.
  • Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

Firefox not letting Weebly website editor load - embedding allergy

Hello! I cannot edit our Weebly-hosted website. Firefox will not load the editor, apparently because of embedding issues.

I've tried a new tab, a new window, the private browser, and another browser, all with the same outcome, which leads me to believe that Firefox and Weebly need to have a discussion to fix this. I've also Weebly to the tracking exceptions, even though I don't think that's the issue here.

If, however, there is something I can do, please let me know.

Thank you for any help - I need to edit our website!

Dear Firefox,

I'm getting quite irate because since Firefox asked to update and restart this morning all my Amazon orders don't happen and the passwords don't work? I've always just ordered on Amazon very easily as I've been on here for many, many years!? Now Amazon keeps asking for a sign in password which I never have to do and it won't accept anything I sign in with? Its all because of Firefox's update this morning? They told me they were having difficulties and its never got put right?

Please do something about it I'm elderly and its hot and I can't keep being asked for passwords which it refuses to accept now? Please put this right?

Yours sincerely,

Jacqui Roberts (Mrs)

Using Windows 10, an Nvidia GTX 1080, and a Panasonic VSX-40 receiver, connected by HDMI.

I recently got a new stereo receiver and have been seeing problems with the HDMI connection. The the image becomes discolored and green at times and stays that way until the receiver is restarted or the input is switched off HDMI and back.

After extensive troubleshooting (replacing cables, updating drivers, testing to reproduce the problem) I have determined that Firefox is the issue.

Playing a youtube video or a twitch stream has a small chance of causing the error. Mousing over a tab with a video in it causes the error almost 100% of the time. The same videos and streams do not cause these problems in Google Chrome.

I have disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox settings and that has solved the issue, but now I have the problem that Firefox is not using hardware acceleration. It scrolls poorly and generally sucks to use this way.

Is there a way to change the way Firefox displays these videos without disabling hardware acceleration completely? Chrome renders them without causing issues, and I've been unable to trigger this error in any way outside of Firefox.

I can login to research.gov on Chrome using biometrics, but Firefox is locked into demanding a passkey I don't have. How can I reset it so it offers the biometrics option?

I tried typing about:config in my Firefox address, searching for security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys, then setting the value to false, but that didn't work.

So then I searched for security.webauth.webauthn and set it to false but that didn't work.
