I can't upload files such as photos to AI generators.When I try to upload the list of folders pop up but when I click on any of the folder the content I know is there doesn't appear. Why? At the bottom of this question area there is an image upload option but for some reason I am unable to access my files to upload. I am perplexed.

I am using Windows 11 (Version 23H2, fully updated) and a Logitech C920 USB webcam. Before testing in Firefox, the camera works perfectly in Chrome, including Google Meet, as well as in the Windows Camera app. When Firefox is opened but does not access the camera, everything works normally in the system. When I allow Firefox to access the camera on a website requesting permission, the webcam initially shows a working preview inside Firefox. But, after the preview, the camera stops working in Firefox and shows a message asking me to allow devices again, even though permission has already been granted. After I test the camera in Firefox and then close it, the webcam stops working system-wide. Chrome then reports that the camera is in use or unavailable, and the Windows Camera app also stops working until a reboot. In addition, when this issue occurs, the Windows Settings page Privacy & Security → Camera loads continuously without finishing anything, but the contents are visible and clickable while it keeps loading. I have to reboot the computer to restore normal camera functionality. I wanted to use Firefox as my only browser, but this situation stops me from doing so.

Hello everyone,

Since Firefox version 150, when you want to share your location with a website, the location settings of the Windows Settings app open - provided that you have not allowed apps, or more specifically desktop apps or if the location service is completely disabled.

If you continue to deny desktop apps access by simply closing the Settings app and clicking "Cancel" on the "Awaiting Location Permission" prompt, "Google Location Services" will be used instead.

How do I know it’s Google? It says so here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/does-firefox-share-my-location-websites

The opening of the Windows Settings app can be suppressed by "geo.prompt.open_system_prefs" = false, and the use of the Windows location service can be disabled with "geo.provider.ms-windows-location" = false.

Is Firefox trying to move away from Google Location Services, or why was this changed without a simple option to choose? In my opinion, it would be useful if it were possible to choose the default location service directly in the Firefox settings. Not least because, in my tests, I found that "Google Location Services" are often more accurate and also because manually setting a location in Windows 10 is no longer easily possible since the Maps app was discontinued.

Thanks and regards, Martin

The newest update of Firefox makes my Windows Settings window pop up, and demands that I allow Firefox to access my location and or device.

This is unacceptable. That setting is greyed out on Win 10 machines....FIX FIREFOX. I am not buying a new computer just to use Win 11, which is nothing but spyware.

I have an insta 360 webcam with Virtual Camera enabled. Is there a setting for Firefox where I can select from a list of available webcams (cameras)? I am suspecting it is trying to use either the integrated laptop camera or the Insta360 without using the Virtual software.

Thanks in advance for your 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

W 11 May, 2025 update really made my computer unable to go online in any way and I had to restore. But FFox updates to have made it impossible to communicate. My phone has trouble s too.
