Google Meet’s background blur and visual filters do not work on Firefox. MS Teams straight up says that Firefox is not a supported browser. These decisions might be intentional on the part of Google and Microsoft, but to the average user of these popular products, it looks like a Firefox problem.
Sounds to me like some of the third party plugins/extensions you’ve installed are conflicting with one another. That’s not Mozilla’s fault. That can happen to Chrome too.
You’re using several extensions that were all made by different people, and not necessarily designed to interact or be functional together. That’s not a Firefox bug.
Extensions are third party apps and most, if not all, of them are not made by Mozilla. If an unofficial, third party plugin doesn’t work, it’s not up to Firefox to fix that. The issue is with the third party apps.
FF is allowed to change their software, and they’re not at fault if those changes break existing plugins that they had no hand in creating. That’s not how software works.
It works fine with my Cinnamon window manager. So the bug could be in Firefox, in your WM, in both, or more likely in the integration of two, as a side effect, which why I’ve said “on the edge”. It’s nearly impossible to test your software with every combination of a system. So the solution here to file an issue both for WM and Firefox and hope someone from either communities will solve it. Or just get another browser or WM.
Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.
Links or it didn’t happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!
I’ve had some instances of wondering why a website doesn’t load or does it’s function properly, usually government websites or application forms, and the issue gets resolved once I do it on Chrome or Edge. It’s not a big deal for me, I daily drive Firefox and have Edge installed for those instances.
I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?
Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.

A lot of that stuff can be fixed by switching your user agent to Chrome
Teams works fine on Firefox.
Are you using a useragent changer?
I am still getting this:

Look like a bug on the edge of WM/App

Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?

The visual effects (background overlay, animations etc) in Google Meet do not work 😢
That’s not a firefox bug but a deliberate google roadblock
