This site is trying to use mozRTCPeerConnection, which had been deprecated (with JS console warnings!) for nearly a decade, and finally removed in bug 1531812.

Uncaught ReferenceError: mozRTCPeerConnection is not defined

I've sent a heads-up to this service, pointing at this bug.

Should we call that removal out in the Fx113 relnotes?

The developers of that app appear to be inactive - no blog posts or tweets since 2016. The contact form on their website still appears to work, so I've sent them a message.
