Yes ... I could not join ... I had set up a jitsi meeting early y/day evening ... Firefox could not see my webcam it could a few days ago - but was updated on Saturday - which, I suspect, is the issue - nothing else changed.
That FF update also brought in new options "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and auto-set to on ... I do not recall that I was asked :-(
Time to upgrade my desktop to be able to run Brave (which does work with jitsi). I have run RedHat/CentOS for 25 years, but Centos 8 comes with Gnome 3 -- which I hate with a passion. I could install Xfce - but prefer Mate - so I am prob going to install Linux Mint - a child of Debian.
My desktop has mirrored disks. I will break the mirror, install on one disk, preserve the current installation on the other, run up the current system, run the new one as a virtual machine, configure it, copy stuff over, then boot the new system native, test, add the old disk as a mirror to the new system (which current versions of LVM should let me do).
I have been putting this off for far too long :-(
