I don't know why this happens. I didn't change anything related to permissions recently, so it might be a change in new Firefox or macOS version. Can you test if this also happens with other websites that use camera and microphone. Also, can you submit the crash report to Mozilla and link the URL here (you can probably find it in about:crashes
), as that report contains more useful data.
Same problem occurs on https://meet.jit.si
I am not sure how to report this to Mozilla. If I open either site with the standard Firefox build, it works.
The problem seems to be in the trigger over permission management. In fact, if we can find a way to directly enable microphone/camera in the profile without going through the UI, I think that would be a workaround.
I found a workaround - only needs to be done once at installation of the Google Meet profile, so maybe it can go in the FAQ and we can call it a day.
I tested it on https://meet.jit.si/ on my macOS VM and it doesn't crash, and I get a permissions prompt from macOS. I don't get any sound though, but this is probably caused by VM or my old macOS version. Can you also test on a different computer?
I'm still not sure why this happens. Those permission entries in Info.plist
should still be there, and I didn't change anything related... I would like to properly fix this, but I don't know how. So, I'll probably add it to FAQ for now and keep this issue open.
I now added this to the FAQ.
I would like to reopen this as it is occurring again on Google Meet. I am a new user of this extension on Mac OS 13.6. Installing Google Meet into a new profile and trying to turn on Microphone and Camera causes it to crash.
