I-Firefox Community Forum

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

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.

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Many thx, Manfred

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?

I'm in an Alzheimer's study that wants to turn on my microphone so I can do one of the things in the study but I can't find where to do this. I went to microphones and typed in the name Brain Health Registry but it doesn't give me a place to turn on the microphone. Hope you can help so I can finish their quiz for today. As far as I know, I have the latest version because it updates when it needs to but I couldn't even find the version I have.

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

I have a problem using a website called TherapyNotes with the Firefox browser, even though this was not an issue until recently. It seems even though camera permissions are enabled, Firefox is unable to connect to my camera for my telehealth sessions. The light indicating my camera is in use comes on for a second, then immediately turns off. I am also unable to even start a session and coast with voice only. The window to start my session never pops up. I have put in a ticket and been in contact with TherapyNotes going back and forth for the past couple of weeks. Their tech support insists it is an issue with Firefox since I can utilize their site completely on other browsers. I much prefer to use Firefox for the security, so I'm hoping there's something you can tell me to do to make it work.

I can't seem to locate how to activate the microphone in the AI sidebar. I have Gemini selected, and when I hit the microphone to dictate I get the following message.. Unable to access the microphone. Please check settings.

I looked through Firefox settings and my laptop's but I don't see where it is turned off or asking for activation.'

I thought the webcam was not working but in another browser like Google Chrome Internet Explorer, the webcam works in all other browsers.

If allowed camera site permissions but not save change in browser

not working camera

please help me

I have tried everything. I've gone into the permissions, I have it set that everything is allowed. I reset and forgot the sites multiple times, zoom and Google Meets, and when I reload still the same issue. It says I do not have a camera. The camera works for both Edge and the camera app on my laptop. I even checked my settings on my laptop, and Firefox has permission to access my camera. However, in the camera request history, it does not show that Firefox asked for access to my camera. It also says the last time it accessed my camera was last year, but I have been trying to get it to work this entire time. I am updated with Windows 11 and the latest update of Firefox. How do I fix this? Is it an issue with Firefox or Windows?

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.

Per [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-personal-device-local-networ...] I was looking for Settings > Permissions > "Local network devices" but the option was not present.

Looking at about:config network.lna.blocking I found it set to "false" by default. Only after I changed this to "true" did the UI shows the "Local network devices" configuration option.

Why is this disabled by default? Isn't this a security risk? It seems like users should be notified by default and have the option to block these requests.
