Firefox 56.0.1 (64 bit) and Add-in Issue

Firefox auto-updated yesterday and now meetings will not open in the Add-in. I have ensured that flash is enabled and have run through the test that confirms the Add-in is installed. When I try to open a meeting, it acts like it is opening in the Add-in, but then nothing happens for a long time. Eventually, it opens in a separate browser window (not the Add-in) with broken functionality. The screen share option no longer works.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the browser, the plugin, and restarting my pc among a few other things and nothing seems to work. Chrome, and Edge seem to work fine. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes ... having the same issue. I've been logging in through Chrome

I have been having the same issue - the new Connect app does not launch automatically from the new 64bit Firefox.

I have found 2x workarounds though:
1 - if the Connect meeting URL in FF has '?proto=true' at the end, it will successfully launch in the app
2 - if the meeting fails to launch in the app, you can open the app from a shortcut on your desktop or in your start bar within a few seconds of requesting it to open and the app will then catch the meeting open request from FF as it opens stand-alone and then open the meeting correctly.

Can anyone else test these and verify if they work for you too?

Same issue here (FF 57.0.2 64bit).
Firefox launches a popup (probably requesting to use the connect add in) which immediately disappears.
The ?proto=true workaround works fine.
I'm just launching the connect app (without a browser) from the desktop currently.
