Facebook won't allow video or voice calls anymore, since introducing End-To-End Encryption (E2EE), specifically only on Firefox

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for the last few months, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

I joined a couple facebook groups. Each offered a file tab with documents available for download.

I tried numerous times with firefox and it failed. Clicking the "Download" item on the ... menu caused the same files tab view and list to open in a new tab.

I hated to do it, but I dusted off M$ Internet Explorer, logged into FB and joined a group, clicked the Files tab, selected a file, clicked the 3 dots, menu popped up and I clicked "Download". Poof. The Save As popup appeared, the file was downloaded. Works as expected with IE.

Might there be a setting in FF that is blocking such downloads of PDF and .doc document files?
