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 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filter...

both nighly and stable ff is broken - my mother couldn't access her meeting in Firefox the other day because Teams said "you only have to use Edge or Chrome"

I can use Teams on the stable version without any issues. You might have cross-origin cookies disabled, which will stop Teams from working. PS. FF:v110.0.1 (64-bit), macOS: 13.2.1.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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...

What if you fake the user agent?

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.

It's not a controversial opinion as much as it is incongruent.

But by using chromium/blink-based browsers, you have already taken the pressure off Google. You have already given them what they want, so you've forfeited your hand.

For anyone out there who values the swiftly fading open-ness of the Internet, Firefox or other smaller FLOSS browsers are the right tools of choice.

how exactly do you plan to put pressure on Google

Oops, sorry. I was using the Office 365 Teams (teams.microsoft.com), which runs ok on FF. I can confirm the Teams for the personal account (https://teams.live.com/_#/unsupportedBrowser) is not supported in FF.
