При попытке демонстрировать экране (для совместного просмотра фильмов, например) с использованиием дискорд (веб версии) нет звука стрима. Проблема наблюдается **только** в браузере фаерфокс. В дискорде просто пропадает кнопка "поделиться звуком стрима/поделиться звуком системы" Никак не могу найти в настройках способ предоставления сайту доступа к звуку стрима/системы при демонстрации экрана. Может кто-то сталкивался с этой/схожей проблемой и у вас есть варианты решения?

Problem Description

In a server-based environment, I need to implement automatic updates for Mozilla Firefox, while maintaining strict outbound network control.

The architectural requirement is as follows: • Only the update component should be allowed to access the Internet via a proxy. • The browser itself (user browsing sessions) must not inherit or use that proxy configuration. • The proxy configuration for the update mechanism should be logically separated from the browser’s network configuration.

The Issue

In contrast to the update mechanism used by Google Chrome (Google Update / Omaha), where: • The updater runs as a separate system service • It supports dedicated proxy configuration • It does not inherit browser-level proxy settings • It allows granular control of outbound traffic exclusively for update operations

In Mozilla Firefox: • The update mechanism is tightly integrated with the browser • There is no native, dedicated proxy configuration exclusively for the updater • Proxy configuration applies to the entire browser • It is difficult to implement an “update-only network access” model

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to google.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I tired to log into my FIREFOX account by my usual way which is tapping the logo. A new screen ask for permission to make changes to my FIREFOX website. although I said NO , it continued to install UPDATES and UPGRADES that I do not and that I am unable to undo.

I have tried to restore or or recover my former FIREFOX WEBSITE , BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. I think the changes are the the results of an AI takeover.

i switched from MICROSOFT EDGE to FIREFOX when things like this began to happen.

Please , help me retrieve my former FIREFOX website. I spend a lot of time on it, and I HATE the "UPGRADES?"!

Passwords not working on Firefox 147.0.4

Hello... I'm running Firefox on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2013 MacBook Pro model A1502. It's been working great, but I just updated to Firefox 147.0.4 and I'm seeing an issue that I can't seem to attribute to anything else but the update.

The issue is that when I login to websites... Amazon, Pirate Ship, Venmo, etc... the sites keep saying that I entered the incorrect password or login. I've been using the same login info for a number of months without issue. I even tried to reset and change the password, but they are not recognizing the new password. I've tried different emails... I often have multiple accounts, one for my business and one personal... but they all have the same issue.

Again, these are sites I have been going to regularly for a while, and the issue only recently started after the most recent update.

Thank you. Paras.

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.

I have at least one question on the support forum which has never been answered. So I went to Bugzilla, and discovered dozens of YouTube issues under the Open/Unconfirmed status.

I can reproduce my problems. I'm sure others can reproduce their problems. Nothing is done. NOT EVEN admitting there is a problem.

If I can't use YouTube on Firefox (I can't), then why am I using FF? It is one of the biggest sites on all of the internet. But FF apparently doesn't care if it doesn't work.

What. Is. Going. On?

All of a sudden Firefox has a popup window that asks me for my primary password whenever I try to access one of my bank accounts. I'm just used to signing in with my saved password on each bank's website. Is this something new? Is there some kind of master password that can sign in to all of my accounts? I'm concerned about security issues.

Hi, on my macbookpro. Searches take minutes to load, websites take minutes to load. Youtube takes minutes to loand, but once loaded and I start a video, it runs for a couple of minutes then video suddenly stops and I have to wait for couple of minutes for the video to continue again and it keeps repeating, all my other web browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc..) works perfectly. It also uses sFirefox is bascially unusable! I am running the latest version.
