When using Google Meet in Firefox browser, I am only able to share my window, not my screen. When I choose "share screen", it says I must change my permissions - but my permissions settings have not changed and this is a problem I have started having only in the last few days.

I do not know where I am supposed to change these permissions settings.

I have checked my permissions in settings > privacy & security > permissions - there is nothing there about screen sharing.

I have checked my permissions in padlock > connection > more information > permissions and the only options I have for screen sharing are "always ask" (default), which is set. The only other option I have is "block" which is not set.

My Firefox browser is up-to-date.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

As per the subject, I can't seem to get my webcam to start specifically on Google Meet on Firefox. The microphone works fine and the red webcam symbol beside the URL appears, but I do not get any video feed, only microphone audio. The webcam and microphone both function on https://webcammictest.com/ and I have allowed the camera and microphone privacy permissions for Google Meet on Firefox. I have also refreshed Firefox and they work just fine on Chrome, but I would still prefer using Firefox for my meetings. I am using Windows 10 22H2 and Firefox is at Version 136.0.1, which supposedly are up to date. Am I missing something?

I wanted to find information on my question, so I visited a website, and some file named CcRNEMIH.htm was downloaded (with a Firefox icon). I deleted it, scanned my computer, and found nothing. Then I visited the website again, and nothing else was downloaded. Then I checked my downloads folder and saw that under the file name, there was a resource called moz-safe-about. What could it have been?

Camera in video calls does not work

Hello everyone! I’m writing to asking for help about an issue with the camera not working on Mozilla Firefox during video calls. When I try to join a Google Meet session, I receive a message asking me to grant camera permissions - even though the permissions are already enabled both in the browser and my computer’s settings.

Interestingly, the camera works perfectly fine on other browsers like Google Chrome, so the issue seems to be specific to Firefox. I’ve already checked the following:

- Camera permissions are all allowed for Google Meet in Firefox; - The system settings (Windows) permit Firefox to access the camera; - No other applications are blocking the camera. I know that 'cause I'm using this camera on WhatsApp and TikTok Live Studio.

Could y'all please help me resolve this? I’d appreciate any troubleshooting steps or fixes you can provide.

PS.: The images are written in portuguese. But it's all how I told you before.

Google Meet Audio and Video settings using Firefox - not working

I recently was unable to have my audio and video function while in an invited Google Meet meeting. I use a Mac OS, Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81), Firefox 137.0.1 (64-bit), and latest Google Meet.

I use Firefox's "Strict" privacy settings and could use some instructions on how to allow Google Meets to function properly on Firefox. For example, I have turned on the browser window toggles to allow the site special permissions - but still cannot get the Meet Audio and Video settings at the bottom to toggle on (see screenshots), the message is a grayed-out "permission needed". I cannot figure out where the permission needed is located...Is this a Firefox, Google Meet or somehow my Mac. Sending this to Google as well.

Thank you
