I have been having problems with Google Maps too, and Google Hangouts has been even worse. I'm pretty much at the point now where I have asked people to contact me on different services because Hangouts has become completely unusable.

I was assuming that this was just Google not caring about Firefox support. But now that you mention it, this seems to have started around the time of the Quantum update and doesn't affect all my machines. So maybe I'm experiencing this bug as well? I never connected the two things.

Google had a NPAPI plugin for non Chrome browsers and proprietary webRTC extensions for Chrome, so when legacy plugin support was removed, it stopped working for voice/video calls in Firefox. Hangouts Meet is even worse, being Chrome only, though officially Google was looking into it.
