Hi, Since the latest update (which added the grouping tabs function), if videos are played in Firefox they no longer connect to the built in Samsung media output controller (Samsung A34, updated to latest software). This means that I can no longer use headphones to eg pause/play which is super frustrating! Any ideas on what's changed and if there is a work around? Many thanks

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.

Substack video freezing since Firefox 154 update

Since I updated to Firefox v154 (on Windows 11 w/latest updates) Substack videos freeze at random times 15-30 minutes into playback (never right away). If I close the tab and reuse the original link, playback resumes more at less where it froze, but this is very annoying and happens almost every video. Other online videos (e.g. YouTube) don't seem to have this problem -- but I rarely watch hour-long videos outside of Substack, so I can't confirm that the problem doesn't exist elsewhere. This only seems to occur after streaming 15+ minutes so probably a subtle bug.

I play videos in full screen mode everyday using Firefox. Recently when I move away from the full screen application to a different open window then the taskbar at the bottom of the screen does not appear. I just attempted to duplicate the issue and take some screenshots only to find that if I'm switching to a second Firefox window the taskbar does not show, but if I switch to a file explorer, or Excel Window then it does show. This makes things very difficult because I'm using the Snipping tool to take screenshots, and the Snipping Tool itself allows the taskbar to display.

I am getting a sharp and loud buzzing sound when I watch Netflix on my Firefox browser, and today, it started doing the same on Facebook reels. I don't have that problem in Edge so clearly, it is a Firefox issue. Thanks for getting back to me to let me know if you can resolve that issue, or if there is anything I should be doing. Kind regards, Isabelle

Firefox tabs intermittently missing mute button when opening tab with audio/video. Doesn't matter if its on autoplay allowing audio or if audio is blocked.

Example: When opening kick, twitch, YouTube or any other tab with audio.

Sometimes the mute button will be available, and sometimes its not. If you duplicate the tab without audio sometimes the new duplicated tab will have the mute button.

The first time i noticed this issue is after the most recent update (154.0).

You can right click the tab missing the mute button and mute. The mute button then appears, until you click it to un-mute the tab. It then disappears and the only way to mute again is to right click/mute or type mute in the address bar.

Playback works correctly usually, but if I jump forward or backwards in time it sometimes never loads. This also completely bricks the whole brower, all other tabs etc, until I close firefox and restart it. This happens on all vods of twitch, and also livestreams where I am able to rewind (subscriber function). I have no extensions enabled, and have the default settings on firefox etc. ("Use recommended performance settings") Video of it happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3difRLhE-cA
