It is 2025 and Slack still doesn't have proper support for Linux and Firefox. They blame their usage of the Amazon Chime SDK. Sorry, but Slack is a billion dollar company and they've known about this issue for years. Either fix the dependency yourselves (Slack) or use a better one. Don't tell paying customers to suck it up.

Edit: This is the issue that Slack points to:

Cisco WebEx and Microsoft Teams work fine with Firefox for Linux. #Linux #Firefox #Cisco #WebEx #Microsoft #Teams

@seanm@infosec.exchange What issues are you having with Slack on Linux please? I ran Slack on Linux (Ubuntu) with KDE / Plasma for about 6 years without issue. Mind you, I had built the workstation as a server first and then added KDE / Plasma so it was a pretty thin system.

@seanm@infosec.exchange Hiya. What are you seeing that is not right with Slack in Firefox? (Keen to understand the problem, I use Slack in Firefox on Linux)
