Google Meet offers the ability to share screens during a presentation but it has some shortcomings. For example, some Google Meet users can share their screens on all browsers but Firefox. Summarizing the situation here: it seems that Google Meet is taking different codepaths for Firefox users, based specifically on the reported Firefox version from the UA string - but that's not great, because the UA string isn't meant to be a feature-detection surface, and the privacy.resistFingerprinting about:config pref causes the reported.
November 8, 2019Removing Old Versions of DTLS
As you probably have read already old versions of TLS are going to be removed in March 2020. Obviously we don’t want to leave Firefox WebRTC users behind and vulnerable. Thus we are planing on disabling support for DTLS 1.0 also in March 2020.
According to our measurements the absolute majority (98.12%) of WebRTC services use DTLS 1.2 already today.
The remaining 1.88% need to start upgrading to DTLS 1.2 today.
To help with the transition and testing we added new user preferences to Firefox 71 (currently available as Firefox Beta):
- media.peerconnection.dtls.version.min = 770
- media.peerconnection.dtls.version.max = 771

To test with DTLS 1.2 only simply open about:config and set media.peerconnection.dtls.version.min to 771. From now on your Firefox will no longer offer DTLS 1.0, as if it would be a release from March 2020.
