How do I permanently stop Firefox’s permission popup from appearing on every website and tab when neither Allow nor Block saves my choice?

Firefox Device permissions

Firefox repeatedly displays the same permission popup on a lot of website and tabs and especially when I open,ChatGPT. Even after I check “Remember this decision” and select Allow or Block, it keeps returning. I already changed the permission settings, but that didn’t fix it. How do I permanently stop this popup and make Firefox save my choice?

If the popup mentions device apps or local network access, Firefox added these permissions in newer versions. Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Permissions, find the relevant permission, click Settings, and check whether your choice is saved for that site. Permissions are site-specific, so different websites may still ask. If the same site keeps prompting on every tab, check whether Firefox is clearing site preferences when it closes.
