[Bug 1498976] [NEW] instant messaging in firefox hello is dysfunctional

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

In firefox 41.0, running with a fresh profile, (both on 12.04 and
15.04), the instant messaging in "hello" in firefox does not seem to be
working properly.

The video and audio connections work correctly, but the instant
messaging is one-sided. The receiver of the call (who can be using any
webrtc-compatible browser) can send messages and view the sent and
received messages, but the initiator of the call (who has to be using
firefox) can only send messages, without being able to see the message
history (including none of the messages sent by the other person). In
addition, when the initiator sends their messages, by pressing enter,
they don't disappear, as in any normal messaging program, but persist in
the entry field (however, they are received by the other side.)

With firefox 41.0 directly downloaded from Mozilla's website, the
instant messaging works correctly (both sides can send messages and view
the message history).

(Note for ease of testing, in case it's helpful:
One can connect to (i.e. open the conversation link in) the same instance of firefox, on the same computer, but in a new tab. Obviously I had detected the above bug also when connecting to another computer.)

Title:

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In firefox 41.0, running with a fresh profile, (both on 12.04 and
  15.04), the instant messaging in "hello" in firefox does not seem to
  be working properly.

  The video and audio connections work correctly, but the instant
  messaging is one-sided. The receiver of the call (who can be using any
  webrtc-compatible browser) can send messages and view the sent and
  received messages, but the initiator of the call (who has to be using

  history (including none of the messages sent by the other person). In
  addition, when the initiator sends their messages, by pressing enter,
  they don't disappear, as in any normal messaging program, but persist
  in the entry field (however, they are received by the other side.)

  With firefox 41.0 directly downloaded from Mozilla's website, the
