Yes, it's all a trade off of functionality for privacy.

If you need meet, then try enabling webrtc(media.peerconnection.enabled). BE WARNED THAT THIS MAY MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO FINGERPRINTING. If already enabled and you're still facing issues, then my issue might lay elsewhere.
No. However, the issue was ultimately my fault. Google meet relies on webrtc, and I disabled it to prevent fingerprinting.
The issue was likely WebRTC being disabled. The thing is, WebGL and WebRTC should be more secure. They shouldn't be implemented in ways that make it easy to fingerprint the user. Unfortunately, for now I can't change that, but I can use alternative methods like Jami or temporarily enabling rtc again to use a locally hosted instance of Jitsi.
The webrtc setting is probably it. IMO it's still google's fault for not providing a meaningful error message. It just stuck on the loading screen, assuring me that I would enter the meeting but I just didn't. I don't like webrtc because it can be used for fingerprinting, so I will probably use jami in the future. Thank you very much for diagnosing my problem!
This was not a work meeting, though I appreciate your concern.

If I create a blank HTML file, every single web browser will open it perfectly fine. If I add browser-specific things that firefox doesn't have, it is my responsibility to create an alternative that keeps the site working. A user shouldn't have to switch browsers due to incompetence of webdevs.
