None of these sites can access the camera, and say that I blocked access even though the popup never appeared:

https://meet.google.com https://webcamtests.com/ https://webcammictest.com/ https://app.zoom.us/test

Interestingly, webcamtests.com says "A web camera was detected." -- but still can't access it. Chrome can access my camera just fine.

Under settings / Data collection.... everything in Data Collection is turned on... I had turned it all off.

So Firefox overwrote my settings with an update I guess - nobody else has access to my PC or Mobile and I certainly didn't do it. They turned on Send technical and integration data, turned on Studies, turned on Daily Usage Ping, turned on crash reports.

Its pretty disappointing - this is the sort of stuff MS or Apple do. It breaks trust. If they are changing this then what else do they change that I cannot see. I suppose I need to see about a different browser.

Firefox 148 Xubuntu 24.04.4

When accessing Google Docs, I can right-click and successfully Cut and Copy from the pop-up menu, but when I attempt to right-click paste, Docs pops up the message shown in the attached image. Ctrl-V works, but clearly Google Docs understands what is being requested and simply will not perform the operation, which is very annoying. Is there any way to get Google Docs to perform the mouse-based paste?

I have a machine I've been using for months and haven't got around to archiving the history and tabs for some research I was doing. I realized this could be problematic if anything happened to the machine, so I decided to sign-in to my Mozilla/Firefox account I made years ago, so it would be safely sync'd.

Everything was fine at first, it showed it was syncing and whatnot, but then after several minutes, Firefox crashed. Upon relaunching, ALL of my history is gone! Neither signed-in nor signed-out shows any history at all, except the searches I've done just now trying to undo this mess. Did I really just loose months of history due to some bug or is there a way I can manually restore or see it from the mess of cache/profile files on my machine?

Ubuntu user, so will be at ~/ or similar for most things I assume.

I get why the domain is highlighted, and it's good! But the rest of the URL can be hard to read, especially with dark themes (see screenshot, taken of this page's URL bar, using the default Dark theme). I have tried to find a dark theme with better contrast, but haven't had any success.

Is there a setting that I can change to set the font colors or contrast between them?

Hello. I have issue with Firefox. I am often opening firefox by command: firefox --no-remote -P <profil> --new-window "<web_site>" Usualy it works. But sometimes it is opening new window and my web_site is located in second tab. First tab (which is completelly unwated) start loading after clicking on it. It is a recently closed tab. I call this tab zombie-tab. It was finished and properly closed, however it rose from the dead. I tried to set in about:config browser.sessionstore lot of parameter to absolutelly forbid to save any information. However, there is still whole history in the list, sites are restorable and sometimes it appears these zombie-tabs. Restore from crash is also deactivated. I tried before to start the firefox without --no-remote parameter, but AI recommend me to add it there. It did not help. Since it is happening occasionally, I consider it as a bug. Some my settings: browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes = 0 browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo = 0 browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo = 0 browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash = 0 browser.sessionstore.cleanup.forget_closed_after = 149 Version: 140.7.0esr (64-bita) OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) How to prevent to create zombie-tabs?

Some videos work perfectly fine, however for some videos audio lags behind the video. The same video file perfectly works in Chromium as a control test. Example file is MP4, inside was initially h264 video with AAC audio, for test I re-encoded video to be svt-AV1 with AAC / flac as well - no difference, audio still lags behind. Local players (mpv) and Chromium works perfectly. No plugins which can affect it - for testing disabled them all. I really try hard to like Firefox but this thing is a real bummer. Any ideas what can be causing? P.S. I tested both firefox compiled from source and binary package provided by my distro. Linux system if that matters.

I am using 140 ESR version on linux with Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS and with DOH active for some reason resolving a domain like d3oklwo3y1bx83.cloudfront.net will resolve to local host IP 127.0.0.1.

I am using firefox about:networking#dnslookuptool to test resolution of the domain d3oklwo3y1bx83.cloudfront.net Both with DOH on and off the resolution remains local host. I tried another browser on the same workstation and I was able to receive a resolution of 13.225.193.203 13.225.193.133 13.225.193.64 13.225.193.58 Why is firefox ESR not able to resolve that domain? What are causes ?

Is is firefox dnslookuptool results.
