When you click on the share screen, you get no other options? Here is what I get. see screenshot Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
When you click on the share screen, you get no other options? No, I don't have any other options available. I retried and attached a new screenshot. Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? I wasn't able to reproduce the same issue in the Troubleshoot Mode. I am not sure whether this because of the extensions, other settings or the fact that Google meet barely works in the troubleshoot mode and I had to reload the page 3 to 5 times to join the meeting.
I use the default theme and just 3 extensions. All three are very important and can't be removed. The problem appeared after recent mac and firefox updates.
When I will have more time, I will play with the settings and the Trobleshoot mode.
UPDATE: I had a meeting using Teams browser version, the same issue there. So it is not Google meets specific.
There is a new update with bug-fixes from Apple. I will try to install it and test tommorow again.
Also, I will refresh the Firefox.
Does anybody now if there is a way to directly contact Firefox support/developers and not the community? The reason I ask is because I don't have time to troubleshoot basic features... This situation is pretty mindless.
UPDATE: I installed the latest 15.1.1 macOS version. I refreshed the Firefox. It doesn't help.
Is there a way to contact Firefox support/developers and not the community? This is a very serious issue for me, if I won't be able to find the solution this week, I will switch to another browser. I don't want to, I've been using Firefox for years, but I don't have time to troubleshoot basic features such as screensharing.
