Firefox doesn't highlight the Google translator microphone.
Hi, I use the Google translator a lot but in Firefox there isn't the mic. In fact, I can't use voice translation because the microphone doesn't appear at the bottom left of the text box.
If I were to use Google Chrome, the microphone there is and I can use it.
Someone can tell me how to make the microphone appear.
Thank you

What's the specific URL for that site? I checked in MS Explorer and there is no visible microphone there either.

What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Are you using the Flash plugin? Maybe the Flash plugin version is too old.

The website doesn't use Flash, on Chrome/Edge/Vivaldi a Microphone button appears next to the Speaker one.

That link's over six years old, and it's about the audio button, not the mike button.

Those steps of the link do't work with my Firefox.
In fact when I try to add the link "https://translate.google.it/", that link s not added in the box below (the website displays in the list below).
Both in the camera section and in the microphone section I have the same problem.
How can I solve that problem?

1) I don't understand if all you see the mic. or not in https://translate.google.it/
2) Anyway I have just restarted Firefox disabling all add-ons, but I always get the same problem.

Re: Firefox doesn't highlight the Google translator micropho
Basically, Google created Google-specific code. So the microphone doesn't appear in Firefox, Microsoft Edge (the previous, non-Chromium version) and Internet Explorer (that's old, I know). Vivaldi and the new Edge are all using the same engine as Google Chrome and therefore show the microphone.
The only workaround I see is to use https://translate.bing.com,
Its translations are less interesting, but you can use the microphone.
