Also this started happening from this build https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/b954d11db347 but I don't really know how to use Mozregression so it could be false


Actual results:

After connecting it gets stuck on RTC Connecting


Expected results:

It should have connected fully

I just tried on my regular nightly and I saw the same issue, but when I tried on a fresh nightly profile, it works correccttly.
Can you check on a new fresh profile?

Tried to use two new profiles on one of which I used my account and the other one where I used unclaimed account, both are stuck in the same way.

P1 until we learn if this is a site bug.

Comment 5

[Nils Ohlmeier [:drno]]

After Firefox creating the offer with 'a=setup:actpass' the SDP answer from the Discord server contains 'a=setup:actpass'. This is clearly not spec compliant. Older versions of Firefox used to ignore this. The answerer has to choose either 'a=setup:active' or 'a=setup:passive', where active is the recommended role as per spec.

I'll reopen this bug and change it to TE because Discord is an important VoIP application used by many gamers worldwide. We need to contact Discord and be sure they fix the issue on their side before the release of FF55.

Adam, can you try to get us in touch with Discord? See Comment #5 for an explanation of what they need to change their SDP answer to -- thanks!

We got a quick response: "we're aware of it and planning on fixing the bug before Firefox 55 releases."

Comment 10

[Nils Ohlmeier [:drno]]

I have no idea how important Discord is. Is it worth adding them to our manual test cycles, or do we have close enough contacts with them to talk to them about their testing (because looking at their signaling I would expect a lot more problems in the future)?

Some numbers in this recent aricle:

This service is really popular in gaming communities in US/Canada and Europe.

Comment 12

[Adam Stevenson [:adamopenweb]]

I agree it's very popular (I use it too).

Discord's website is also ranked 109 in U.S by Alexa. That said, it's not clear how much voice chat usage happens through web vs. apps.

We can try to discuss further with them if we think it's valuable.

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Let's track this for 55 to make sure it gets resolved.

Comment 14

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

Adam, can you test if this is still an issue?

Comment 15

[Adam Stevenson [:adamopenweb]]

Seems like this is fixed. I get to "Voice Connected" in both Firefox 55 and 56 for OSX.

Let's close this report, thanks everyone!

Hi, I'm encountering this issue again.
I'm using firefox 85.0.2 (64-bit) on archlinux with pulseaudio as sound server.
I was in a discord call, with everything working just fine; I disconnected, reconnected, and then suddenly it was stuck on "RTC Connecting". The following didn't help:

• rebooting my computer
• clearing all cookies and local data
• using a different firefox profile
• trying without my VPN
• rebooting my router
• stopping and uninstalling pulseaudio
• trying out different servers than Europe (my default)

Voice chat works just fine on the discord desktop app, however.

Oops, nevermind, the following fixed it:
Going into my discord voice settings and using the "Reset Voice Settings" button.
Sorry about the message.
