With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Google Meet's background blur and visual filters do not work on Firefox. MS Teams straight up says that Firefox is not a supported browser. These decisions might be intentional on the part of Google and Microsoft, but to the average user of these popular products, it looks like a Firefox problem.

Teams works fine on Firefox.

Are you using a useragent changer?

I am still getting this:

Screenshot of Microsoft Teams on Firefox. The text says "Hmm. Your browser version isn't supported. Quickest solution? Download the desktop app." Below it, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are listed as supported broswers.
