Not just nightly. Stable is blocked as well. Seems we're in the next IE-era.

Then there is an error. Teams supports FF stable, they have even made efforts to improve support

I get “hmm, your browser isn’t supported” on safari mobile.

The link is https://teams.live.com/_#/unsupportedBrowser

I imagine this is what Teams forwards you to when it sees FF Nightly as your browser.

Works for me with the Office 365 Teams. Is the one on live.com different?

Is it blocking Firefox entirely? At least on an M2 Mac, it shows "Your browser isn't supported" running Firefox v110.0.1.

Why not use stable FF for your business meetings?

Thats also blocked. But what did you expect from a greedy multi-million $ company, that already forces their browser on your system. Yust recently there was a post on here that pointed out how Microsoft forces Edge on their Windows Users. So yeah, what did you expect...

so is this the ie11 user agent matching thing?

No, there is something wrong with their browser detection. Teams supports Firefox, Chrome and Edge https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filter...

https://teams.microsoft.com Firefox 110.0.1 on Linux, works perfectly

What am I missing?

The link in the submission points to

https://teams.live.com/_#/unsupportedBrowser

but https://teams.live.com/ works without issues

Controversial opinion:

I used to like Firefox but at some point you have to accept the reality: No developer likes to have 2 backlogs, one for Chrome and one for FF. IMO It's better to adopt Chromium-based browsers and put pressure on Google to avoid letting it become the sole decision-maker about the web.

The posted link is to the error page. https://teams.microsoft.com works in FF stable.
