Well they are just lying, it works fine with Firefox and has worked fine for years. I live in the EU though. Sucks to be american these days, I guess?

Reason?
- Firefox does not support Microsoft Teams
- Microsoft disabled support for Firefox
- Problem for a specific computer/account
2 but not because of missing features in Firefox. They just hate competition.
This is not mildly infuriating this is the free internet being eroded through Googleβs control of Chrome
No it seriously means the feature isn't available yet in the browser. Like there is a part of Firefox missing that they need to use the website. Basically all websites are coded in HTML, css, and js or a form of that. The browser controls them and the code operates out of it. If a feature is on chrome and chromium but not Firefox, the site won't work on Firefox. Not sure exactly what is missing but it is mozillas fault not Microsoft.
It used to work months ago. Iβd try switching the user agent to spoof Chrome.
This may open a security exploit or something, I don't recommend it.
As long as you use Ctrl+Shift+M and not a proprietary third-party add-on, and your chosen user agent is not too unique, there is no risk.
I just had to switch to New Teams last week because Classic teams just continued to have more and more call drops and connection problems. The New Teams doesn't even have an option to change the notification sound, and now I can't move the banner that appears in the top center of the screen when screen sharing that covers up tabs in browsers and the main preferences/search dialog in VS Code...also a Microsoft product. Apparently no one at Microsoft noticed that one of their most used products used in the most normal way blocks out important functionality from another one of them.
The new presentation blurb is really annoying bad at hiding itself.
That said, new teams finally supports multiple accounts, so I don't have to keep using a web app for the second one on my work laptop.
Microsoft made their minecraft website complete in functional for Firefox. You can't even download the launcher without chrome.... And I don't understand why. What in the world do they need chrome features that Firefox hasn't?
Wdym? I downloaded it on my PC last week without trouble
Mhh maybe because I was using Firefox on Linux. But I got a 404 when I was using Firefox. On chromium it worked
You can make it work by changing your UserAgent string (there's plugins for that) to some older chrome version to make things work.
The problem I have with this though is if enough people on Firefox spoof their user agent to Chrome, it's gonna look like less and less people are using Firefox and Chrome will eventually have a monopoly.
They already have a monopoly. The amount of people using FF is pretty small unfortunately. And there's a bunch of sites that only test in Chrome and sometimes even actively "block" Firefox like here without making an effort to check for capabilities instead of user agent.
