I have Firefox for Mac iOS, and want to turn on notifications for Microsoft Teams, but I do not want them to ever make sound. Like ever ever. I cannot figure out how to turn on banner notifications while keeping them quiet (they always appear in the top right, as requested, but make a dinging sound.) The notifications panel in my System Settings is grayed out, and isn't allowing me to make changes to it for some reason. How can I can allow notifications in Firefox while suppressing any and all sounds those notifications they make?

I am running an iMac that is about eight years old.This afternoon my Firefox browser was taken over by a "warning" from "MacOS security center" that I should go to THEIR macOS support site to get my system unfrozen. The number they give is 1-877-xxx-xxxx. I cannot get this intruder to go away, even by restarting the computer.

System Details: Macbook Pro (2021) 16 inch Apple M1 Pro macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

1. I downloaded the latest Firefox from Mozilla official website, installed the app, made sure I can see the Firefox app in my applications. I start using the app. 2. Everything will be fine for a few days (say 1 week or 10 days) and one fine day, the browser stops working. Even google.com doesn't open. 3. I quit Firefox and try to re-start it. I cannot find Firefox in my system. It just disappeared. I cannot find in my applications. The search doesn't show Firefox.

I re-install by going back to step #1

This has happened not one time but many times. I searched if others have this issue but did not find anything that i could use. Hence posting this question here.

I have Firefox installed on a lot of other Macbook pros in my home, no other system has this issue. I don'ty understand what is happening. Just wanted to get some guidance in resolving this issue.

Thanks _Krishna

Google Meet Audio and Video settings using Firefox - not working

I recently was unable to have my audio and video function while in an invited Google Meet meeting. I use a Mac OS, Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81), Firefox 137.0.1 (64-bit), and latest Google Meet.

I use Firefox's "Strict" privacy settings and could use some instructions on how to allow Google Meets to function properly on Firefox. For example, I have turned on the browser window toggles to allow the site special permissions - but still cannot get the Meet Audio and Video settings at the bottom to toggle on (see screenshots), the message is a grayed-out "permission needed". I cannot figure out where the permission needed is located...Is this a Firefox, Google Meet or somehow my Mac. Sending this to Google as well.

Thank you

What has happened to containers?

It used to be that Firefox had different containers. I kept separate ones for shopping, banking, Facebook, etc. Now I had to erase my MacBook Pro IOS, and after a few days of trying to use Safari, I installed Firefox. But I can no longer see the possibility of using containers. I found them particuarly helpful when I had more than one account for a certain platform - with containers, I didn't need to sign out and sign in to switch users. It also (supposedly) kept Facebook from tracking our interests. Has Firefox done away with containers? Or have I simply forgotten what they are called (buckets, maybe?). I searched and searched the help articles to no avail. If they have done away with them, why?

By the way, Chrome (which I had to use at work) started offering a similar product and it was also very helpful.

Printing to PDF makes unsearchable PDF file

I have not noticed this before upgrading my Mac to Sequoia 15.0, using latest Firefox browser update, but "printing to PDF" which I used in the past extensively, makes a PDF file that causes the letters to be one ASCII number off. So if I type into the "search" field "p", then all the "o's" are highlighted. I can only enter a search term if I usean "ASCII number +1" technique, so I can search for "get" by typing in "fds". Numbers are searched for as in the past. This is not happening if I make a PDF using my Safari browser, all the PDF words are correct and searchable as in the past. Anyone have insights as to why this might be occurring? I will try restarting in "safe" mode and re-downloading Firefox as is suggested in some of the articles here. Thanks!

Hi,

I've been getting a glitch while typing emails in Outlook Web Access for the last couple of days where superscript type in dates looks like the image attached. It was working fine until sometime this week. I've tried using Microsoft Edge and the issue doesn't happen so I'm thinking it might be browser specific.

I'm running Firefox Version 135.0.1 (aarch64) on a Mac Studio with Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70).

Can you advise please?

Thank you very much.

Calum.

I want to know whether I can update my current Firefox version with my very old desktop setup. I am using the Firefox browser version 78.15.0esr (64-bit) on my iMac 2007 running OS X El Capitan. This notice came up when opening Firefox: " Your version of Firefox will start to have problems on January 14. A root certificate will expire, causing some preferences and other features to stop working. On March 14, 2025, add-ons and more features will also break." Following the instructions to update, in About Firefox window, it checks for updates and then shows Firefox is up to date. I've interpreted this as there's no version available that I can update to. Is that correct?

All of a sudden I am not able to download files on my MacbookPro in Firefox. I am using Version 126 on Mac OS 12.7.5 Monterey.

Downloads are working if I use Safari, but I do not use it. I just used it for testing purposes. Is anybody else having this problem? I've already "refreshed" Firefox per their suggestion.

I use a 2009 Mac Mini running OS 10.11.6 dedicated for streaming. I was prompted to update Firefox to ESR which I did, replacing the older version of Firefox. The new version will not open.

It was the only browser I had. Can I undo the installation? Or download 78.15.0 somehow to restore the functionality of this Mac?
