How to get mic permissions pop up to show up?
So I somehow broke mic permissions in discord on firefox. I can not get it to show the pop up to let me allow the mic, whenever I try to unmute I get this https://i.imgur.com/TkFKwpj.png (refreshing does nothing)but it never pops up and doesn't list mic permissions,only autoplay sound when I click on the lock icon. In permission settings under microphone discord isn't listed. I also know it isn't a discord thing because it works fine in the app, just not within firefox. Tried clearing cookies/site data for discord too, nothing seems to make the pop up appear. Also tried updating firefox, rebooting pc, nothing seems to do it.
Really at a loss of what to do to get it working.

Yes, I've tested a couple other sites and the mic works fine, and it's listed as a input device there(second to last device listed).
Here's a pastebin of the troubleshooting info: https://pastebin.com/6szaNzVR

Yea tried setting it to enabled there and it still won't unmute, still shows the same thing telling me about the pop up that won't appear.
Can you please go to the Voice & Video Settings in Discord and see if the Permission Box shows up? Can you also see if Discord is showing your input device? It will show Default if it can't detect. Here's a screenshot of what it should look like: https://imgur.com/a/BjRkiqQ.
Also, just as a troubleshooting step to see if it is an issue with asking permissions, can you please try the following and see if it works:
- Type "about:config" into the address bar.
- Click "I accept the risk!"
- In the search bar type, "permissions.default.microphone".
- Change the permission to "1".
After this is done, go back to Discord and see if it works when you unmute. Make sure you change this back, as this is a global setting and not just limited to Firefox.
