Firefox 42.0/Ubuntu 15.10 struggling

[idistech]

Ive got a new install ( from the nightly builds ) of jitsi-meet on a 14.04 server, which is working a treat with Chrome

For Clients :
Chrome to Chrome Meeting works well ,

Firefox to Chrome doesnt, nor does Firefox to Firefox ...
All clients are vanilla 15.10 Ubuntu, and between the two same machines.

The Front page loads, select a common room, the conference base page is loaded in all cases, and the 'local' session starts correctly, but no other participants are present or join the call..

Sorry for a newbie question, and if this should be raised elsewhere ,then apologises..

Tried to see if there is something obvious, but not clear..

Many thanks

This is my finding, too, even using meet.jitsi and beta.meet.jitsi. Frequently the other caller isn't shown as being in the room, or if they are either audio or video is missing. What information would be useful for me to provide?

[gpolitis]

Could you please provide repro steps, your FF version (from the about menu) and also, if possible, the JS console output?

[idistech]

Repo Steps was a very simple

13 echo 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb unstable/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
14 wget -qO - https://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb/unstable/archive.key | apt-key add -
15 apt-get update
16 apt-get -y install jitsi-meet

firefox from the client reports

firefox -version

Clearly a couple of indications at the end here... Are we missing an important module from out Firefox release ?

[idistech]

Sorry, Want to add an update, which seems to be partially 'user error'

So I have
Firefox ( with a Camera ) seems to be working.. ( I think I had a nother process hogging the webcam )
ie
Firefox with a Camera <-> Chrome with no Camera Works as expected

Firefox with no Camera <-> Chrome/Firefox with a Camera doesnt..

Firefox seems to be having a problem if it doesnt have a Webcam. ( ie it doesnt seems to start if it has Audio only )

This is a duplicate of #347 (which itself also is a duplicate...).
