What version of Firefox? What OS?

Can confirm Firefox-dev on Linux has no working video.

Firefox 74.0 on Fedora works.

AFAIK Firefox on GNU/Linux uses Gstreamer. Maybe you need to install gstreamer codec packages.

Update: Firefox switched to FFmpeg and removed Gstreamer support some time ago. I have FFmpeg installed from rpmfusion, but I don't know if that's relevant to WebRTC and Jitsi.

Looks like 2020 is still not the "year of Linux on the desktop"

(from a desktop Linux user years 1996-2004)

If that's on iOS, you're not actually using Firefox since it uses Apple's Webkit.

Firefox preview is only on android.

iOS doesn’t support videoconferencing in the browser - you have to download the app.
