In Duolingo you can turn on/off the sound settings which include 'motivational' noises when you answer correctly. I find them annoying so have them off. I've been using Duolingo and Firefox together for years, no problem, then a couple of months ago these sound settings became ineffective i.e. permanently on even if turned off in Duolingo. I thought the problem was a bug in Duolingo until I loaded it from Microsoft Edge and there was no problem. The settings turned on and off. I'd prefer to carry on as I was before and just use Firefox. How can I fix this?

As the subject says, I'm trying to get Discord links to open in the Discord desktop app instead of a Firefox tab. The 'Applications' section of my Firefox settings that has the settings to handle 'mailto' and 'magnet' links in external apps doesn't have any setting for Discord links for me to change, and I can't figure out how to add one.

Here's an example of the scenario I'm suffering: - You want to go do something on a website, say Bacefook (as a demonstration). So you go search up "Bacefook", and enter. - You use the Google search engine, as it does the job. However, you notice it has been taking a few seconds longer than anticipated. - Your internet times out and says it's having trouble connecting to the website. - You refresh, and suddenly the website perfectly loads.

Sometimes it even takes more than one refresh to get it to load normally! And this is not limited to the google search engine. It happens on all sorts of websites. There is no clear pattern to when a website actually loads or not. This problem is limited to my 2 WiFi routers, as other WiFi routers load all websites perfectly.

I decided to check the network tab in the inspect element for more information. I get "NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST" which is clearly false because the target website clearly exists. And the timings tab in the faulty request shows that every timing took 0 milliseconds to fulfill, so it may be the case that no data has been sent. (Seen in image below)

Chrome doesn't really have an issue with this. YouTube may have taken a long time to load in a test experiment though but it loaded successfully all along.

This also seems to be appearing elsewhere for a lot of internet request my computer makes, so it may be an internet setting that exists from one application from another. But it's been bugging me a lot with Firefox specifically.

This problem started happening about 1-2 months ago, and I use Firefox 131.0.3, the latest version of Firefox.
