Firefox 64/65 participants may sometimes experience media loss in Group Rooms

[manjeshbhargav]

Mozilla introduced a regression in Firefox 64, which sometimes results in ICE failure when interacting with our SFU (media server), which is an ICE-lite agent.

What is the impact?

In a Group Room, Firefox 64/65 participants may sometimes experience media loss.

What is the solution?

A fix for this regression is scheduled to be released with Firefox 66 (currently in beta). Please test your application in Firefox 66+ to verify that your application is no longer being impacted.

@manjeshbhargav I am thinking if impact description is sufficient enough ("sometimes experience media loss") or we could give more precise one. From what I understand, the issue happens in the following case:

• Participant using Firefox joins a group room with no media tracks and publishes them afterwards, this will result in ice disconnect and media loos within 40 seconds.

Is there a reason you kept it more generic?

@anna-vasilko ,

That is just one of the cases. The Firefox bug says that ICE failure happens during re-negotiation. So that can happen for reasons other than the one you have mentioned. What you have mentioned is just one of the scenarios.

I see, OK @manjeshbhargav +1
