Issue on meet.jit.si: video disappearing on Firefox due to alleged bandwidth congestion #12578
Comments
As an experiment you can try running the previous version of Firefox. Do you still reproduce with it? |
I can't... I'm on Debian "stable", running current version of Over the weekend, I will try current version of Firefox again, and report if there are any changes. |
So you say there was no major Firefox update for this period that you are talking about? |
Let's see (this is from
I'd say probably 102.4 and 102.3 are affected, not sure about 102.5 yet. |

I'd say we close this as a browser issue. |
No, this issue should not be dismissed lightly, unless you think that is is "OK" to ignore a problem in the second world's most common browser. Yesterday I had a long meeting with quite an unpleasant experience of permanently disappearing video again. I hope you might be able to reproduce the problem with Firefox-Chromium combination of browsers. Thanks. |
@nils-ohlmeier Are we aware of any BWE shenanigans with FF? |
I see this (unexpected BWE on formerly reliable setup, same peers via meet.jit.si) with Firefox 107.0 on Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed). Bandwidth estimation shows N/A: N/A |
I had another incident on Firefox/102.5: joined a usual meeting and was advised that my video is "disabled to save bandwidth". It was not possible to tell if anything was wrong from my end. Had to join from Chromium and we had no issues for hours. Firefox just updated to |
Ever since my last comment here, this issue manifested every week on every minor release of Firefox ESR. Is there hope that this issue will be eventually fixed? P.S. Video still works flawlessly in Chromium. FYI @TFBW |
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions. |
Still observing this issue in Firefox 117.0, Windows and Linux. |
Also still observing with FireFox 117.0.1 on Mac, Windows and Linux. Guess we might need to re-open this one or create a new issue. |
Do you reproduce it with FF 116? |
Debian have Firefox I'll test more with |
This issue started to affect meet.jit.si few weeks ago.
For few years, I've been having two different weekly meetings with usual participants, so our familiarity with Jitsi is high.
(Thank you for such useful and reliable service!)
Few weeks ago, during meetings we all noticed frequent video disappearance (e.g. "video disabled to save bandwidth"), causing video feed to stop then start again sporadically, many times, regardless of performance settings.
I'm on high-performance low-latency network that we have monitored and I could not detect any problems.
I always use Firefox, so as an experiment I tried Chromium and issue completely disappeared.
It was not a one time thing, and the problem persisted over few weeks being reliably reproducible (even from different computers): video sporadically disappears in Firefox but not in Chromium.
This is a regression, as formerly Jitsi was working very well in Firefox.
