Firefox Community Forum

I have been using Firefox as my default browser for decades now but I think I might have to change that very soon. I am unable to obtain sound when connected to the internet. I am hoping to start an online course to learn Python but when playing the first tutorial there was no sound at all. I looked for the problem via your website support page and discovered (for some obscure reason) that "Autoplay" is defaulted to "Block" in the Firefox settings. I decided to change this setting to "Allow audio and video" but to no avail. I've even tried listening to DIY store and Yuotube instructional videos but can't hear a thing. If I use MS Edge as my browser, the sound is fine. Am I missing something here? Is there more to changing the settings than I what I read? Anyway, I've enjoyed using Firefox over the years and really don't want to have to use a Microsoft browser. Is thete something you can suggest?

Subject: Restore Left Column and Vertical Separator on Top Menus

Hi All,

I noticed in FF 136 (Windows 11) I have no left column and vertical separator in the top menus.

But FF 115 ESR (Windows 7) had these additional columns and vertical separators on all the menus.

Is there some .CSS code to bring them back in FF 136?

Only my File and View menus have this left column, to allow for a checkmark next to menu items that are toggles (Work Offline on the File menu, and Full Screen on the View menu).

Please see attached image.

Thanks.

Hi, I said most of it in the title. Somehow, my Firefox DisableAppUpdate policy got set to 'true' & when I try to change it Firefox says sorry "this is managed by your organization". But I'm not currently signed in to an enterprise network. This is on private wi-fi. Can you all fix this? I need to be able to manage policies like this *for my personal browser*, less is not okay. Thank you for your help.

I have a router set up at a remote site with a device that has a built in web server that allows viewing the items displayed. The router quit working so i replaced it with another one with the same configuration but now when I try to access through it The browser is complaining that it is unsecure and apparently resets the connection. I don't care if it is unsecure it is my site/router and I want to connect. I have used this configuration many times with no problems but firefox has done something to prevent it from working anymore, this started being a problem with some of these setups a couple years ago. How do I get it to connect anyway.

For many years now I've had Firefox clear

• browsing & download history
• temporary cached files and pages
• saved form info

but not

• cookies and site date
• site settings

This worked flawlessly until Firefox updated to version 136, at which point all cookies were deleted and I was signed out of every account on every website.

Looking at the settings page, the option to delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is now enabled. I don't remember what this setting used to look like, but I did not change it recently.

Unchecking the box seems to work, but I shouldn't suddenly have to do this, and the "damage" is done.

Why did the update to version 136 sign me out of every website, and how do I protect myself against this happening again?

Is there anyway to see what manifest version an Extension is using?

Going forward I would prefer most of the extensions I use to move to v3, except for a few which I know need v2 features.

Hello,

This new version of firefox. I am experiencing icons grey out whenever I opened a new tab. Is anyone experiencing this below?

[Highlighted Icons in new Tab https://i.postimg.cc/RFzrm98Q/Screenshot-2025-03-05-012153.png]

I recently refreshed Firefox. When I re-opened the program, I was logged out. I successfully logged back in, but despite saying I'm "synced", none of my settings (themes, passwords, bookmarks, etc.) are showing up, even after waiting 30 minutes. Typically sync has taken a few seconds for me. FYI, this is on my work computer and I don't have administrator access, so I would prefer a solution (if possible) that does not require an uninstallation or installation (which I cannot do without contacting an administrator). Thanks.

I used to have an image (dark, stormy sky) in my new tabs, that appeared as a background to my grid of websites (8 columns x 4 rows). Suddenly, I haven't seen it today - just noticed that it's just black. Can't seem to find where to access the different images. Would like the path to find it, or learn if it's no longer available or if I can make my own. Thanks.

I cannot consistently show an image preview when I hover over a tab, even though I have that function box checked in my general/settings page.

The title or name given to a website isn't always indicative of the site. I have more than a few that start "login". It is confusing. How do I Rename to something meaningful and easily recognizable, to me? Currently, instead of having to remember a password, I have to remember how it is stored. Kind of negates the reason for having a password manager...

There are two individual things happening with Short Cuts that are not desirable.

1. Firefox creates Short Cut icons on its own. Every day there are Short Cuts that I did not want on my page.

2. These automatically created Short Cut icons cannot be removed. No matter how many times "Dismiss" is selected, the icon is still on the main page.

How do you stop automatic Short Cuts from being created? And how do you Dismiss icons that will not be Dismissed?
