Issues with Firefox

Firefox browser guidance for Microphone Access

The Amazon Connect CCP conforms to Firefox microphone usage guidance, and only has access to connect to the user's microphone when the CCP tab is in focus. This may lead to missed call scenarios when the CCP tab is not in focus, for example, if the agent focused on a different tab or application.

  • Agents must focus on the CCP or Agent Workspace Firefox browser tab when they accept and connect to a voice contact.

Issue with Firefox version 86

The following issue may occur if you embed the Amazon Connect Contact Control Panel (CCP) into your agent application and your users access the Amazon Connect CCP using the Firefox web browser with Enhanced Tracking Protection browser setting set to Strict.

An upgrade to Firefox, specifically Firefox non-ESR version 86 released on February 23, 2021, introduced Total Cookie Protection which modified cookie sharing behavior across sites for users with Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict (Firefox defaults to Standard). Users with this specific browser setting and version combination may be unable to access the Amazon Connect CCP when embedded in another application, preventing them from handling contacts.

To prevent impact to your users (agents), we recommend that your users do one of the following:

  • Confirm (or set) Enhanced Tracking Protection as Standard in their browser settings. Users can do this by following these instructions provided by Mozilla: Adjust your global Enhanced Tracking Protection settings.

  • Do not upgrade their Firefox browser version to v86 or higher.

  • Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge to access the Amazon Connect CCP.
