how do i block my location? Nothing seems to work. I want to search a site in another country but keep being directed to the site in the country I am in. I dont want to look at that site. I want the site in different country but keep being bounced to the current country site. I getting pissed

I can load the page and start a connection, but the site I load says my camera and mic are not allowed, and the window (copy attached) refers to a LOCK picture on on the top of the broowser (highlighted). I made sure my antivirus and security are not blocking, and I don't see what is blocking on Mozilla. Iam aware this side is a confluence of several sites from the same enterprise that share cookies, I don't know if that's the problem, I have no objections so I would allow that group-share if it's needed. I just wan to get to that web site that allows and visual/audio session. I once had it with this same PC camera and mic but somebody changed and now I' blocked by the implications of that padlock.

So I am THIS close to uninstalling firefox forever. Every 10 seconds, when I have a google tab open, it brings me to my permissions on location, and asks me to give permission. I turned it off in firefox settings 'block new location requests' but it keeps happening. I have location turned off on my PC, and don't wish to turn it on. This is INCREDIBLY frustrating as I can't use google now because of it. How do I stop it.

Firefox crashes whenever it would need access to my camera or microphone. So far it has only happened whn trying to access a Roll20 game with camera and microphone connectivity, and when trying to access a video appointment for Universal Credit. It never happened on Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 it happens every time without fail, and the crash is immediate.

I have some custom firefox applets that acts as wrappers around the command-line functions to open firefox with specific profiles (see image 1 of applets in Applications in Finder). Each application is a simple .scpt file that runs the shell script (see image 2).

This allows me to have specific app icons for the different firefox profiles in my user dock (see image 3).

The issue is that once the applet is used and firefox has been opened, there are issues with permissions. In settings, it is clear that both microphone and speaker permissions have been shared with the applets AND firefox itself (see image 4).

However, any time I navigate to a page, I get a dialogue asking if the applet (Firefox_Professional, in this case) can access the microphone (see image 5). Depending on the page, I can get 1-20 dialogues in a row. This makes firefox practically unusable since I am closing an average of 5 dialogues before I can view any page.

Does anyone know any solutions to this?

Thanks so much for the help! ~Alex

I used to have the camera and microphone on video conversation using the instant messenger on Firefox browser, but now it says "camera and microphone not supported by browser". So I tried to fix it thru setting, privacy & security, accessibility - camera & microphone, but no joy. Can somebody plese show me how to fix it. thanks.

Hola, por favor, necesito ayuda con el micrófono. Como pueden ver en la imagen adjunta, cuando intento dictar por voz, aparece que el micrófono está deshabilitado.

He intentado acceder a los ajustes, pero no sé cómo agregar la página de Google Translate (u otra) a los permisos, ya que no encuentro ninguna opción que me permita incluir manualmente una nueva URL para habilitar el micrófono. Tampoco aparece la opción para permitir el uso automático del micrófono.

Además, he notado que ahora hay una nueva ventanita a la izquierda del chat de ChatGPT (¡me gusta mucho esta función!), pero el micrófono tampoco funciona en esa sección.

Agradezco mucho si me pueden orientar para solucionar esto.
