If im trying to skip on a video on youtube from 2:16 to 4:52 for example, i will hear an annoying *pop* sound in my left ear, im using headphones. This happends on all videos and not just on youtube. I tried reinstalling the browser and with the default settings and without browser extensions and it did not fix it. It only happens on firefox.

Any ideas why?

Did you check your audio connections for Dust or frayed wires? Those sounds like hardware connections issues.

Yes i did, no problems found there.

Did you also try this in "Private Mode window" and see if the issue happens there as well?

Just tried it on headphone, no popping noise. I suspect you got bad headphones there.

Maybe but if that were the case why does it happen only on firefox? if the headphones were the problem shouldn't the same thing happen on other browsers, games and apps for example? This is why i think firefox is issue and not my headphones.

One can know without being there to listen to what your hearing that is the biggest part here. So you going to have to get another person to listen to the same audio that has the issue to hear what is happening.
