Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

I’m using Firefox to access different websites that provide online calculators and tools. Some of these tools ask for my location or use my city to calculate a result.

I’m not sure how Firefox handles this information. Does Firefox allow websites to access my location, and will it always ask for my permission first? Also, can I check or change which websites are allowed to use my location?

I’d like to understand how this works before allowing a website to use my location.

bold text All I want to do is to allow websites to see my location. I am seek to purchase a new home and all the sites say that my location is blocked. When I go to Firefox settings, I cannot grant location access but have to list all web sites that want my location. When I attempt to list a website, I cannot. HELP.

After a recent update Firefox now often displays a Settings screen that appears over my open windows and tells me that I need to turn on Location Services.

This has never occurred before and Firefox has performed well for many years on both Windows 10 and 11. And no website or contact has ever complained to me about a lack of location information.

So is Location Services a necessity. And is it a benefit that I really should use?

I am trying to complete an online video interview, but Firefox is not allowing the website to use my camera and microphone. I have checked the website permissions, but the camera and microphone are still not working. Please help me enable camera and microphone access in Firefox.

When I visit a particular web site it requests that I grant Firefox access to location services. When I attempt to, the site's interface takes me to (Apple) System Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services and shows me the access status of the Firefox.app. The control next to it shows it as off. Clicking on the control to change it to on does nothing. The web site cannot access location services.

Location Services itself is on, as are permissions for several other apps (including Safari, which does not have this problem with this web site).

Within the Firefox apps own settings, location permissions for the site in question (scistarter.org) are set as Allow.

I'm on an iMac, running Tahoe 26.5. This problem does not happen on my iPhone running iOS 26.5.

Help?

A site tells me I need to add them in permissions for the camera and speakers, but since the site does not make an "electronic" request, it does not come up with a pop-up to add it, so I need to be able to add it manually, and I can't seem to find where to do that.

On google maps on Firefox, I updated my home address, but it loads up with my previous location, not my current one, how to make google maps open to my current location?

I needed access to an ftp server. I went to Cyberduck and thought I was downloading its software. Instead, I apparently clicked on an ad from that site instead. In the process, I had this bogus browser extension right next to my Facebook Container. ... I deleted it, but I'm still concerned about what I may have done/permissions I may have granted.

Please help!

I am confused. I'm an older guy. I don't use VPN. I have noticed that while I live near Kalispell, Montana (NorthEast MT). FireFox thinks that sometimes my PC is in the Seattle, WA area or the Phoenix, AZ area. I am tired of getting local ads for tires, hair salons, etc. in these states. How do I get FireFox to realize I am not in these states and to relocate me back to Montana?

I am using win 11

When I am using the Private Browsing feature of Firefox, and I search for something like a restaurant menu from Google, the browser is able to receive my location data and use it for the search query before Firefox shows the pop-up asking if Google can receive my location data. I'll note that I don't include my location in my initial query, just something like "[restaurant name] menu." I'm not sure if this is an issue with Firefox or whether Google itself is having this issue, but I'd like to avoid having my location data automatically given before I get the chance to object to it. My main two questions are:

• Why does this happen?
• Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent it?

Thank you for your time.
