Can someone answer to me, please? I need it very much. (or may give a link where I could find a solution) I tried: - full uninstall FF and install it again - non effect - install Firefox Nightly for Developers - non effect - install Firefox Beta for Testers - non efffect - install Firefox Focus - non efffect May be there is some about:config parameters? I really cann't understand why other applications and browsers detect and use microphone fine but only FireFox (all version) has so problem

Hi there,

Have you make sure that Firefox for Android has the right permission to access microphone from your Android device?

Hi, thank for answer How can I do it? As far as I know Android 5.1 has no interface for permission setting. During the installation Firefox a window appears with list of the permission that FF require access to, but it just information window, which doesn't allow to edit permission. (This window contain item "microphone")

You can also use the Microphone in another browser, if it works fine then maybe your FireFox version is faulty.
