NMGLugers, So, use 'sudo apt install chromium-browser' or your "Software Center" or other gui to add the Chromium Browser for the jitsy sessions. We all noticed a heavy use of CPU and memory during the session with Chromium, so I hope you have at least 4 GB ram or better, 8 GB or more. The Web and web apps have become very demanding. You can still do "rocket science" with less, but video and audio and whatever else is going on in a web conference seems to have heavy requirements. Thank you, Ted P.

None of us yesterday had any luck with Jitsi in Firefox anyway.
It sorta works, but there are huge delays and bad echoes, and you
get a warning when you connect that you'll likely have a bad
experience (which was true). It worked pretty well in chromium.
