Yep, I wonder what are the technical reasons not to support Firefox. Some missing codec as (maybe) for the lack of support in FaceTime web?

Firefox WebRTC support isn't missing anything big, but it's missing a lot of little things from the 1.0 spec that Chrome (and, increasingly, Safari) have. But, much worse from a support perspective, recent Firefox releases have been fairly likely to have WebRTC-related breaking changes and regressions.

We all try to support Firefox. But given the relative usage numbers of Firefox, Chrome/Chromium/Electron/Edgium, and Safari, it's sometimes hard to devote resources to testing and workarounds.
