Many users ask for solution to disable your great invention : annoying mute buttons (speaker). And creators of FF strongly make it imposible to turn it off? Why? Is ther a "must" to suffer this? There will be some of reward for pain you give with this "feature"?

Greetings! I've been a Firefox evangelist for a long time! I'm having issue with my Dell Precision 5530 pushing Firefox audio to a Bluetooth speaker connected to PC. Others browsers work fine, however FF wants to use the speakers on my monitor, connected via HDMI. I've tried to change several times, however FF does not want to use the BT.

Can you please help?

Thank you kindly!

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for ways to troubleshoot streaming video issues in Firefox. Sometimes video playback can be affected by browser settings, the internet connection, or device performance.

What steps should I follow to identify the cause and improve playback?

I also came across Selvydia while researching IPTV and streaming services. Would browser troubleshooting differ depending on the streaming platform being used?

Thank you for any practical suggestions.

Hello All,

I have a somewhat confusing issue that I've only found two posts on Reddit mentioning previously, but there were no responses.

A short summary: On Discord's website, in an audio call, audio will progressively move from stereo/both ears to mono/only the right ear after anywhere from five to sixty seconds. This only occurs on Firefox, it does not occur on Chrome or Edge (with the same extensions, when applicable.) For the record - this also only occurs with the one headset. I've tried with a second headset and don't have the same issue, but I don't believe the Headset is solely to blame since the issue only happens on Firefox.

I have also tested on Firefox Nightly as a fresh install - no extensions, no settings changed, just install and login to Discord.

Specs:

ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR HP USB-C G5 Essential Dock (Monitors are connected through it) Windows 11 (August update/build 26200.9168) Razer Blackshark V2 Pro RZ04-0453 headset (Connects via USB-A Dongle plugged in to the laptop) Firefox (x64) (154.0.1)

Troubleshooting steps I've taken:

Removing the Audio driver for my computer and re-installing it. Removing/re-installing the drivers for the Headset. Verified all audio related drivers for my device are up to date. Verified the BIOS is up to date (it's solved unusual problems before) Toggling the "media.latency_preference" toggle in about:config (recommendation from a friend) Disabling all extensions on Discord. Disabling Firefox's strict mode on Discord. Verifying all audio related drivers for my device are up to date. Tested on a Firefox Nightly install (the first time it's been installed on my device). A separate browser (Chrome/Edge - the issue is not present) A separate headset (Issue is not present) Downloading Razer Synapse and disabling any "extra" features, and testing with various options on/off. Disabling any and all other Audio devices (speakers and microphones) while using the headset. Charging the Headset to full.

Things I haven't tested, but thought of:

Resetting Firefox in any capacity - I can, but hopefully testing with Nightly is sufficient. A different computer entirely - on my list, when I can next. A new User profile. Testing with no headset at all, and just utilizing the built-in speakers/microphone for the laptop.

Oddities:

Changing audio settings in Windows will "fix" the issue momentarily - for instance the "Spatial sound" option. Changing from one setting to "Off" (or vice versa) fixes the issue for the same ~5-60 seconds until it slowly goes back to the right ear. These options are present for every device, even ones not experiencing this issue.

It's very odd to me because on one hand it may be the headset, but then the issue is only present in Firefox.

Any help or things to test would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

this is still really annoying: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1500761

why is the icon even there or why does it have to disappear and then also change the tab size ?

1) if its there to enable you to play a tab in the background, then i want the option to switch the feature on or off (because i do not want to play anything in the background, atleast not via a 24/7 target practice with a mouse)

2) if its there to give you notice that there is a 'multimedia' tab open in your browser, then i want the icon to stay there and not dissapear plus change tab size...

like what is this even ? are we back in the 50s ?

I was receiving Directv content on Mozilla Firefox for months without issue. Suddenly it stopped completely and left a message "We couldn't play this content at this time". I don't understand why this happened or how to fix it. I want to do all my browsing with Mozilla Firefox so I need help. It would be truly excellent if I could speak to a human about this issue. Please.

When joining my daily Google Meet call, the audio is initially fine but when I change tab, change program or do anything other than look at the Google Meet tab, a crackling develops and gets worse the longer the Google Meet tab is not active. If I then switch to the Meet call, it alleviates the crackle but doesn't disappear altogether.

Things i've tried: - different earphones/headphones, bluetooth and wired, Mac's built-in speakers - disabled extensions - I've tried Chrome browser and the call works fine, no crackling whatsoever

Any ideas?

Hello, I hope you are well.

All videos played on my FireFox browser are slowed. This happens on any video playing, including on YouTube, even when the video is on 1x speed and is not slowed. It has been getting progressively slower over the past months, and was not fixed after I uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox. Please kindly assist.

Здравствуйте, я хотел просто сообщить. Что надо исправить: звук или просто, чтобы все расширения и платформы работали на Mac, Windows 11? Ты андроид, ну типа я запускаю видео, я хочу посмотреть. Со звуком и в наушниках не работает звук: TikTok или YouTube и другие сайты, которые нужен звук, и потом я хочу просто сам это сделать и, может быть, помочь. Все мы станем на своём движке, а все браузеры. Опера, Яндекс, и чтобы картинка в картинке работала. Покадрово, ну, может быть, найти кого-нибудь. Интересный кадр, и в игре это будет видно заметно, и я просто изучаю. Новые технологии, спасибо за ну такую программу, как «Фаерфокс».

"'Hello, I just wanted to let you know. What needs to be fixed: sound or just to make all extensions and platforms work on Mac Windows 11? You're an android, like I'm launching a video, I want to watch it. Sound doesn't work with sound and headphones: TikTok or YouTube and other sites that need sound, and then I just want to do it myself, and maybe help. We will all run on our own engine, and all browsers. Yandex Opera, and to make picture-in-picture work. HR wise, well, maybe find someone. It's an interesting shot and it will be noticeable in the game, and I'm just studying. New technologies, thanks for a program like firefox."'
