promeneur, it is possible that your copy of Firefox was built without WebRTC support. Would you mind sharing which distribution of Linux you are using, which version number of the distro, and if your copy of Firefox came from the official package manager for your distribution? You can try downloading Firefox directly from here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ and see if the appr.tc demo works for you.

Thanks promeneur. Could you also post the contents of about:buildconfig ? I would like to check if they have passed --disable-webrtc in the configure options.

Since this doesn't seem to affect official Mozilla builds (I just checked on my local Ubuntu system) I'm going to mark it P5, which means we will accept patches, but won't plan to work on it ourselves. If you see this problem with a Mozilla build, please let us now and we'll reprioritize accordingly. Thank you for your report.

i forgot that i use an addon to disable webrtc according to minimize leaking data.

sorry
