Hello! Firefox is now controlling the volume of my system via a volume fader that appears in the upper left corner of my screen. Also because of this- I can no longer use "control" button and my mouse to expand any images. In short- Firefox has taken over total control of my mouse. Hoping you can help get this back to normal! Thank you!

This is really strange issue, but try to enter about:config in the URL bar and set media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled = false.

Did what you suggested and it didn't fix the problem. Somehow as I mentioned Firefox has gained control over my mouse functions. The wheel on my mouse is also inactive. I went to my mouse control panel and there is nothing there that enables me to correct things. Was there a Firefox update in the past three days or so that is causing this issue? FYI- I'm using Windows 10 if that helps you figure this out.

We didn't change anything. Try to restart computer.
