The teams web app was borked for me on Firefox at one point. Idk if it's still like that. Also Google Chat or whatever tf it's called now disables a bunch of features on Firefox.

Ah yes wtf is Teams doing!? Some arbitrary features are blocked on Firefox, like you can't direct call someone but you can be part of a group call 🤪
