Hello,
We have a problem with not having any audio from flash elements when connected via RDP to either Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012r2. All other forms of audio appear to work (Windows system, Youtube, Facebook, Spotify, etc...). I have adjusted the security.sandbox.content.level preference to 2 but did not resolve it.
Anyone else experience this?
Thank you!

Why can't I use my fingerprint to sign in like my other browsers? I just downloaded Firefox and will dump it if this feature is not available.

I have speakers plugged into the sound card, and USB headphones. Let's say I'm watching YouTube, and I disconnect my headphones; Speakers are now the main output device on Windows, but the YouTube tab in Firefox is still outputting to the headphones that are no longer connected. To fix it, I have to refresh the page. This indicates that Firefox checks for the current Output device when loading the page, but doesn't check it afterwards.
Please fix this in the future builds.

If you want to use dictate in an online office document you have to allow the microphone permission which is fine. However, after the mic times out and you want to continue dictation you have to allow permission again and again.....why doesn't it stick? This does not happen in chromium. Once you have given mic permission there it sticks until you exit the document.
When a UF2/WebAuthn security key confirmation dialogue is called, how do I prevent all firefox windows blinking orange in Windows taskbar?

I previously saw a post about having the confirmation dialog popping up on all windows (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574853) but that didn't address my issue. That bug was fixed and the dialog box doesn't pop up across all windows, but what does happen is every firefox window gets alerted and turns orange as an alert and stays orange until each window is clicked. I went to WebAuthn.io to test this.
This is intrusive to my work as I have multiple virtual desktops and it alerts in all firefox windows across all my virtual desktops. I have my taskbar hidden but when these notifications pop up, this overlays on top of my current applications.
Picture of the effect is attached.
Is there any way to prevent this? Is this intended? If not, how can I remove this annoying notification?
Current firefox version is 68.5.0esr (64-bit). Is this potentially a bug in the ESR update channel that might have been fixed in another firefox version?

Youtube 4K 30/60P are playing fine on my overclocked AMD Vega 11 GPU at mid-level GPU utlisation, however 24P videos show a lot of judder clearly due to improper 3:2 pulldown.
Contrary to common understanding, it's not a dropping frame issue, there's no dropped frames. Also, this does not happen to 1440P and below videos.
In comparison, MS Edge classic plays flawlessly even without taxing GPU 3D engine, only Video Decode; Chromium based browsers use nearly 90% of the GPU 3D power but they play nicely too, only stutter when overlay shows and limited by hardware capability.
Adrenaline driver 19.9.2 used, so far the most stable driver for my hardware.

Mac OS: How do I target a specific instance of Firefox from the command line when more than one instance is running?

I use different instance of FF with different profiles as front ends for specific php applications. Sometimes when I launch a new instance via the backend script of a GUI app I've created, even though the command line arguments for the firefox binary specify the url, the instance sometimes fails to open the url and stays at the default home page. I'd like to avoid having to set the target url in the preferences for the FF profile and instead load it from the command line, as I set the url in a config file for my GUI app and don't want to have it set in multiple places.
Obviously I can get the PID of the instance, but then how would I use that (or the firefox binary) to tell that instance to open a specific URL?
Code from the script that launches FF: (included variable are defined previously)

I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 4 and am using the Raspbian OS. I downloaded Firefox 68.5.0esr because the default Chromium isn't compatible with many things. I'd like to test if Firefox ESR will suit my needs but only mobile websites load (attached image of Amazon.com). I've scoured the internet looking for solutions on how to get desktop sites to load but nothing seems to work, or the instructions are no longer valid. Things I've tried are listed below. No extensions/add ons are loaded except the defaults. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have 3 monitors at work and have FF trained to open on the middle. It seems that when I have a lot of FF windows open(5-6+), new windows will open on my left monitor. If I close a bunch and leave say 3-5 windows minimized, I can retrain FF to open on the middle window without issue. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling. It seems to be an issue with several ver. of FF that I have tried. Any ideas?

This happens every time I open Firefox. It doesn't make any sense why it constantly keeps on crashing. I have to manually re-enable it. I thought that it was my graphics card but that's not the case as other browsers don't have this problem. I have tried everything posted online but none helped.
My processor can't handle 4k youtube videos, so I have to re-enable hardware acceleration in order to use my graphics card.

Hello,
I'm using Firefox browser desktop ver 73.0 for Ubuntu 18.04 canonical 1.0. It was working great for many months. Now suddenly on all websites selection boxes and text are inverted.

Firefox 68 ESR is the latest version for Linux system on Raspberry Pi but I don't know why it is not working with Webrtc. I had tested some Webrtc samples and website with Firefox 68.4.1ESR on Linux system of Raspberry Pi 3. They all return some errors. For example, AppRTC video chat client powered by Google App Engine: https://appr.tc/ The result is showing like the images. It can't show the device name when I accept the camera and microphone permission then return error message. Then I tried Firefox 60, it works fine with Webrtc sample on Raspberry Pi 3. As a final test, I downloaded the Firefox 68.4.1ESR version at my laptop with Win10 system and test it. Everything is fine. I am sure the camera and microphone is fine because Firefox 60 can run the sample normally. May I get some help to figure out the problem of the Firefox 68.4.1ESR on the Raspberry Pi with Linux system and how can I make it work with Webrtc?

When logging on to public wifi network that requires a login name and password from my Windows 10 laptop with Firefox set as the default browser, my internet security application (BitDefender) shows a suspicious connection warning and blocks every effort to connect. When I try to log in with Chrome set as the default browser, the process works normally, that is, the network login page opens automatically and Bitdefender does not display a warning. I don't want to have to change my default browser every time I connect to WiFi in a coffee shop or an airport. This has been bothering me for years. Do you have any suggestions?
