If video and sound don’t work in firefox it sounds more like a microsoft issue than a firefox issue. Webcam and Microphone APIs are following the standard and are well documented on MDN.

Sounds like user agent / window.navigator sniffing in order to block the browser.

Classic microsoft. They will never change.

Oh, it's absolutely Microsoft's fault. In this case they are using (or at least were) pre-standard chrome specific apis.

The problem isn't that Firefox is bad. It's that many site are designed specifically for chrome, and they don't bother testing against Firefox. And for the average user, all they really notice is thay some sites don't work in Firefox.

Which I what many here who worked through the IE dominance have been warning against - yet the only thing we hear is that other browsers are the “new IE”.
