What?: Using screensharing option in Google meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google meet meeting. 2. Click share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings". - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quiting Firefox. the computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.

When you click on the share screen, you get no other options? Here is what I get. see screenshot Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf

When you click on the share screen, you get no other options? No, I don't have any other options available. I retried and attached a new screenshot. Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? I wasn't able to reproduce the same issue in the Troubleshoot Mode. I am not sure whether this because of the extensions, other settings or the fact that Google meet barely works in the troubleshoot mode and I had to reload the page 3 to 5 times to join the meeting.

I use the default theme and just 3 extensions. All three are very important and can't be removed. The problem appeared after recent mac and firefox updates.

When I will have more time, I will play with the settings and the Trobleshoot mode.
