User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:35.0) Gecko/35.0 Firefox/35.0 Build ID: 20141203233411 Steps to reproduce: When I go to Menu->Tools there is no tab mirroring option. I tried mirroring a video but there's no chromecast icon. I am using Firefox Beta version 35 for Android and also tried Firefox 34 (non beta). I am on a phone with Lollipop. I tried Firefox on a tablet with kitkat and have the same issue. In Firefox 35, if I go to about :devices I see my chromecast along with its ip address. In the Android chromecast app I see my chromecast device and can chromecast from other compatible chromecast apps Actual results: Nothing Expected results: My tab should have been mirrored to my chromecast

Can you provide the video that you tried to mirror? Do you see the option on other websites?

This is the site I used to test mirroring:http://people.mozilla.org/~mfinkle/casting/test.html I also tried YouTube in desktop mode. The video played just fine in Firefox but there wasn't a chromecast icon

Can confirm it with 35beta. 34 stable on the other hand has the mirror option available

Can confirm. I am using my Chromecast today and there is no availability in media nor in the ability to mirror a tab in product.

Looks like trunk Nightly is fine, Aurora (36)/Beta seem to be affected. Only on trunk do I see mirror tab and have the ability to cast a media (e.g, MP4). On Aurora/Beta, all those options are missing.

Actually hold that. All of a sudden now I am seeing the ability to cast (35) and mirror (36) now in the Beta/Aurora. I'm not sure what I did, but I assume initially it did not find the device on my network.

This works for me. I rebooted my Chromecast, I ensured the browser sees my devices (about:devices), I connected Chromecast in the Chromecast application and I can't reproduce. I did initially see the inability to cast but I can only guess that the browser didn't see the device. WFM/

I had the same problem with Mirror Tab not being visible in Firefox 35. Based on the previous comment I tried about:devices and surprisingly found my Chromecast listed. I tried looking in about:config and found browsing.mirror.enabled was set to false. I set that to true, did a Force Stop, and mirabile dictu Mirror Tab appeared. Seems to be working reasonably well for me on a 2013 Moto X. It appears to respect portrait and landscape but only when set prior to mirroring.

Even though I can Chromecast, I think Mirror Tab/Stop Mirroring should be shown in menu, I don't see it at all in Firefox 35.

Are we supposed to be showing 'Mirror Tab' in the menu on 35?

(In reply to Aaron Train [:aaronmt] from comment #12) > Are we supposed to be showing 'Mirror Tab' in the menu on 35? We have two preferences for controlling mirroring on Android: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/app/mobile.js#286 browser.mirroring.enabled browser.mirroring.enabled.roku The first should control all aspects of mirroring. The second should control whether the Roku supports mirroring. Both are | false | on Release builds. Since Chromecast support mirroring, I assume we should make "browser.mirroring.enabled" = true everywhere. What do you think Brad? Also, should Desktop use similar preferences?
