Streaming Video chat isn't working on updated Firefox 109 browser.

Sites such as Chatroulette just show a black screen rather than video. Seemingly the issue is sites that allow Video chatting don't show any video incoming from other users. Stranger still, is that it is still able to access my camera so I can see my feed, but If i click to watch my feed, that is also just a black screen. Not sure if it is a plug in, I don't get any pop-ups asking for permissions or access.

Use the menu icon in the top right, click on Help, and select Troubleshoot Mode from the sub-menu. Step 2: Select Restart to launch Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. Try streaming a video in Firefox. If it is playing alright, then it's one of the Add-ons interfering with the video playback on Firefox
