Every time I try to use my camera or microphone on some websites from on firefox it says can't detect camera or microphone? It doesn't show up with the 'allow this website to access your camera/ microphone' pop up it does with other websites. I went into permissions and manually changed it myself and it said it still couldn't detect the camera/ microphone

I used to be able to have all sorts of tabs open for an entire month. Now, I can't keep them open even for a day. It seems to be a problem selective to Youtube (other tabs like Yahoo Mail still work), leaving my Alienware 15R4 laptop fans running really loudly for a few days now, since updates ran (not sure if that's related), and leaving me having to shut down and reboot the browser, daily, instead of once or twice a month. Is there anyone working on getting us back the old Youtube, or replacing Youtube with something like what it used to be? I am running adblock plus and uBlock Origin, should probably turn them off to see if they're related to the problem, huh? I'd hate to start having to use a different browser.

Windows 10 Home V 22H2 Alienware 15R4 Firefox 147.0.3

I have an issue where the following operations with the "new" profile manager don't work: - setting up a new profile (about:newprofile in the new profile is just blank) (a new profile gets created though) - deleting a profile (about:newprofile is just blank) - editing any profile that is not the original profile (about:editprofile is just blank) (works with the original profile) - the select profile interface from the account or menu button is blank when opening it from any profile that is not the original profile

What works tho is calling about:profilemanager from any profile. From there any profile can be selected and switched to.

I'm using the Bazzite (Linux distro that is Fedora based). I'm fairly new to Linux so that could be a issue, the problem was there from the get-go though and since Firefox was preinstalled I don't believe I could've messed up much.

Firefox version is 147.0.4 Bazzite version is 43.20260211.0 (Kinoite)

Reboot doesn't fix these issues. Uninstalled Firefox with deleting user data, installed it again and same behavior appears again.

I also tried installing a Firefox fork (Waterfox). It had the same issues.

I would appreciate any help and would be willing to share more detailed date if it helps somebody help me.

The attached screenshots mostly show the UI that is not working as expected.

Hi,

I just updated to the latest version of Mozilla FireFox and my bookmarks dissappeard.

All are gone, I wonder how I can get them back?

Many thanks,

When the Global Privacy Control request is checked (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control?as=u&utm_source=inproduct) a persistent bubble appears at the bottom of the page indicating the request has been accepted. The bubble is annoying. Is there a way to continue to use this feature without the bubble appearing?

When Firefox updated to 147.0.3, it shredded Quick Dial and I am using the latest version.. Less than half of my tabs still exist, and many of the "everyday" tabs - banking, utilities, online purchasing, etc, - are simply gone. Unless there is a solution, and I have contacted the developer with no success, I will no longer be a Firefox user. Beyond this issue, Firefox has been increasing difficult to use for purchases (big examples, Rock Auto, PayPal) and have had to switch browsers too many times to complete purchases DESPITE making exceptions for these websites in Settings. This situation is the proverbial "last straw". Solution or I'm out. Screenshot attached would have originally shown A FULL PAGE OF TABS.

Why is firefox blocking the paypal popup??? I've tried all the solutions to get it to work, but it still does not work.

Went into Settings/Privacy & Security/Permissions, Block pop-ups and third-party redirects is selected, but I've added http://paypal.com and https://paypal.com to the exceptions

Version 147.0.3 (64-bit) Windows 11, current version No adblocks installed in firefox

I on MacOS and I'm facing this issue last half of the year. As usual mac book user, I have many WIP items on my laptop, so I don't reload my laptop every day, even months it can leave without reloading.

So, after a workday I just closing it and come back tomorrow. When I back to the work and want to open new tab: Jira, Gmail, LinkedIn any other tabs - FireFox just keeping in loading state. In comparison, the Google Chrome that opened as well all the time but with fewer tabs, open the same links in seconds.

I though the FireFox is not latest version, and updating or re-starting of it, sometimes helped me to fix the issue. But now it seems stopped work either.

So, after a 5 years on FireFox I'm seriously started about my migration back to Google Chrome. I'm not sure that you can help me in this forum, but at least I would like to hear you option. Maybe anyone else have seen such behavior also and FireFox could find the issue

Technical issues After update. I have two computers both of which some problems since the latest Update in February. The microphone won't work on certain apps. One of my extensions are operating as expected and Firefox is not closing all the way or so it's reported. When I go to open up again a new session, it says it's already open but not responding. I have the option close it and then starts right up.

I have three laptops which are synced. One function I do not want to sync is my individual selection of themes. Every time I change the theme on one, the other two go blank. In my sync settings I sync Settings and Add-ons. Do I need to disable one of these to correct the ongoing problem?

My local network is 10.10.10.x and I can't log into my NAS, web server or another computer on the local network... Internet access is fine. Happens on Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

If I access the same web address using Safari or Chrome it works just fine and it used to work before the software update to the 147 build.

So what switch/setting got kicked over during the upgrade that I have to turn off?

These kind of issues really make me mad at the Firefox Dev team... and I'm a very long time user.

Hi!

I don't understand. Firefox is eating up memory again in the latest versions, and on top of that, it's the GPU on my PC.

4GB for the app and up to 8GB.

Are you mining Bitcoin on my machine?

What are you doing?

firefox on mac seems entirely broken.

in about:profiles I see 1 profile (with custom name). after restart the profile is still there, but all settings lost( Passwords, links, addons )

the same as happened before: I restarted the computer for update. than there were multiple profiles in about data. i got cunfused an in the end i deleted firefox entirely and reinstalled.

YouTube videos are choppy in Firefox, despite trying solutions like clearing the cache, disabling hardware acceleration, and using Safe Mode. I’m using Windows 10 with the latest version of Firefox. What can I do to resolve this?"

It seems that the bookmarks function and history files are possibly "in use by another app". I do not understand much of this. I think it happened after an update. I tried a restore point. I deleted the Icons file as it seemed that might be an issue and they would automatically update on restart. I called Dell support, they could not fix it, neither could my smart, younger friends. So after hours of frustration, I had to install chrome, which I hate. What I want is for someone to just fix it. Its 2:30am and I need to get some sleep, I will check this tomorrow afternoon and see if I can get anywhere. Good night all!

how do you disable or unreaveal when the mouse hovers over the task bar (search bar) at the top while in full screen mode (f-11) to me this annoying when the mouse enters that section of the screen. chrome does not do this. Is there a way to toggle off a switch in a setting? if not, can one be added.
