When I try to play a video on Firefox. The movie plays, but there's no sound. I checked ALL of the computer settings, and video settings. If I switch to Google Chrome, and play the same video, I get terrific sound. This switch is done without modifying ANY of the controls....just switching browsers. Why no sound?

Hi TommyB,

It could be a couple of things. You might have accidentally muted audio for Firefox. The article Knowledge Base article What to do if Firefox won't play any sounds will show you how to check.

If that doesn't work, you should look at Fix common audio and video issues. This will show you how to troubleshoot any plugin/extension issues that might be impacting your system.

Hopefully this helps!

I rebooted Firefox, and the problem fixed itself. Thank you for the quick reply, anyway.
