Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use microphone in Gmail Hangouts https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox . I have it set to "Allow". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox When a call comes in or I try to make one it does not have the check mark box "Always Allow" on the little pop up window as I have seen before. I can set it to always allow by right clicking the chat window and page info, yet it keeps on asking for permission to use. -- It DOES show as being allowed both in the list in Options and when you check the page Info.
I thought maybe it has something to do with Flash ending, but when I use Hangouts on the Hangouts page: https://hangouts.google.com/ it works fine. And yes, I have removed all cookies and cache several times. Another thing I noticed is that you can't add any pages manually in the options. Not sure if that is related. Note that I use Firefox and Windows 7 .
Been searching for an answer since this started over a month ago. Thank you in advance for your help.

Is fingerprint tracker blocking causing firefox to fail to log onto ebay?
I get to captcha loading and it freezes. opera can log on. this sounds like something ebay should not be doing.
How do I tell Firefox Sync to: Use *this* as my master copy - and propagate it to all my Windows desktop machines?

HI. I understand how difficult Sync is and have read the deep dive article on how it is being (or has been) rebuilt to work "properly". I have just one question - but here's why: Sync still has the ability to mess up bookmarks between my 5 Windows machines. So all I want is a clear way to do this: I'd like to fix up all my bookmarks on one machine : let's call it "A" - and then propagate that to all the others. I tried doing this by A. Stopping sync on all, B. Fixing up the duplicates, empty folders and other messed up things in bookmarks on A manually C. Starting Sync again. And within a day my 5 hour marathon had been completely wasted as they were in a heck of a mess again. Could someone please try and include "A straightforward way to reset and rebuild your bookmarks- AND SYNC THEM!" in the design doc? And put that a set of clear instructions somewhere? But in the meantime - please let me know how I do this. Surely "reset and rebuild from here" is an obvious requirement? Thanks guys - this hurts because I'm completely in love with the "new" Firefox and how safe I feel with it. So help me here!
An extension has disappeared from AMO with no explanation... should I be worried?

I've been using the extension Screengrab! for years, and still have it installed (v2.18), but it seems to have disappeared from the add-ons repository without trace. How do I find out if the author has retired it or if Mozilla have acted over some security fear? The extension still seems to be available in the Chrome web store (can't see a version number). Screengrab! had tens of thousands of users and had been updated for web extensions (although with some loss of functionality) so it seems strange for it to just disappear.
How can you recover data belonging to extensions?

Background: My computer was acting up and, going into task manager, I brazenly exited out of some of the processes of Firefox thinking it might help. Obviously it didn't help and I'm sure at this point I just need to reinstall because it's basically been slowing my computer to a halt every time I've tried to use it since then, but weirdly enough, it completely messed up my extensions too*, even though nothing else regarding settings nor my profile was affected.
I'm fine manually reinstalling the extensions, especially considering I can carry over bookmarks and history anyway, but I must have had thousands of elements blocked on uBlock, all of which are gone, and there's a lot of styles that I don't know if I'd be able to find again as well. If there's some way to retrieve the data related to these extensions if it still exists somewhere, like the aforementioned blocked elements and styles, or scripts on Tampermonkey, or even settings related to the extensions- maybe they're all stored in similar places- then I'd really like to be able to do that. It would be fine just to be able to copy and paste the items back manually again. Even if I can't actually put it back in, it would be nice to be able to retrieve the files where they are so at least it's not wiped out on a reinstall. I realize that it's possible that one of these extensions is causing an issue, but they certainly weren't before this happened (I doubt what I did was actually an issue exacerbated by the extensions and as long as I don't do the same thing again I'd think it would be fine) and either way, even if I don't even use the extensions again, I'd just like to have the data there.
- The extensions themselves aren't uninstalled. Some work normally, some don't, but notably, every time I start Firefox, anything that's stored related to the extension, whether it be settings or just certain specifications, is gone. The toolbar drop-down menus open consistently. For instance, uBlock not only won't actually bring up its element blocker, but it also says it has zero elements blocked since install. Stylus also doesn't work, and all my styles have vanished. Tampermonkey worked running a script on Youtube, but once again, on startup, the script was gone.

As of a few days ago the following website stopped displaying the petitions accurately. (https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/969/550/917/) The page/s look like they are loading in an html format which makes them useless to me as I CANNOT sign petitions. I checked to see if this problem occurs in Chrome and it does NOT, so this is only happening in Firefox. I hope you can help me figure this out. ~Thank You, P.S. Here is how the page looks. It is not supposed to be loading like this.

Now only the banner on the page load with my acct name and icon and the rest of the page is BLANK except for the never ending spinning circle in the middle .... are you taking lessons in buggyness from CrApple OS??? My Voice account open just fine and fast on Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, and Edge Beta!!! Maybe you (Mozilla) should switch to the Chrome engine too, you are too buggy 90% of the time!

When I click the Back button, and there are several items in the dropdown history list, seems that I have to hold the left mouse button down for some pre-determined interval before the whole dropdown list is presented.
Before this interval transpires, the button appears pressed, but no dropdown list is presented.
Is there a configuration variable that sets this minimum time to hold the button down, before the dropdown list is displayed ?
If not, is there some other method to have the dropdown list displayed sooner, if not immediately ?

Whenever I log into my financial institution's or my ISP's website, Firefox often freezes. My version is 69.0.3 on Windows 7 64-Bit. Would the Windows 7 be the problem? Is this version of Firefox more for benefit of Windows 10 users? My next computer will not be Windows as I did not get my money's worth out of seven. Too much maintenance required; and I don't need this problem. Thank you.

i have been having a problem with gaining access to Kelloggs.com. I just got off the phone with Kelloggs and they said that the issue is with your browser. Frankly I don't use any other browsers because of their security flaws. Kelloggs has been added to my allow files and still I can't gain access.
Would someone call Kelloggs and help them fix the issue. 1-800-962-1413, they are available from 9 AM - 6 PM EST.
They want me to install and use another browser, that is their solution. Since this issue has been going on for months I frankly don't think they want to fix the issue.

Hello. I simply want an easy browser. I would really like to avoid ALL the bells and whistles. I also would like to prevent ANY information collection by ANYONE or background communications. I am also looking to find a product that will remove ANY and ALL cookies on demand and ALL temporary internet files, and especially "customized advertising" whose main purpose seems to be presenting me with the same search results regardless of the desired search. That being said I do not want to spend a month studying firewall configuration or how to set up firefox. Any chance I can get step by step guide to enable maximum protection while providing the minimum of information Thank you for ANY assistance
