But when I use Chrome or Brave It works fine

Hi @MohammadTaseenKhan, thank you for the detailed bug report! I'm not able to reproduce this in any browser. I noticed you are using Firefox ESR. I downloaded the latest Firefox ESR for Linux and was unable to reproduce there as well. This seems like an issue that may be specific to your environment. I have a few questions:

  • Are you seeing anything concerning in the browser console?
  • Are you sure that WebRTC is enabled in your Firefox ESR?
  • Do you have any other non-default settings that might affect WebRTC/peer connections?

Hopefully these questions will help to narrow down the cause of this issue!

@jeremyckahn The problem has been fixed

I just needed to enable the media.peerconnection.enabled In about:config section

But it might be a problem to the general users who may not be able to use it if they uses firefox or firefox esr

And it should be included into the user guide section specially for Firefox users

Nice work getting to the bottom of this, @MohammadTaseenKhan! I've updated the README to help others who may run into this: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/chitchatter#firefox-specific
