It works on Firefox but does not have simulcast support so whenever someone on Firefox joins, other devices have to use vastly more CPU and bandwidth. My phone dropped 50% battery in 10 minutes with a Firefox user on.

It is being worked on [1].

Firefox was a supported browser but they took it off the list in January until this issue is fixed. [2]

Sounds like a great DOS attack on meetings you don't want to be in. Just join from Firefox and everyone's battery dies.
