Screen sharing permissions in Google Meet
When using Google Meet in Firefox browser, I am only able to share my window, not my screen. When I choose "share screen", it says I must change my permissions - but my permissions settings have not changed and this is a problem I have started having only in the last few days.
I do not know where I am supposed to change these permissions settings.
I have checked my permissions in settings > privacy & security > permissions - there is nothing there about screen sharing.
I have checked my permissions in padlock > connection > more information > permissions and the only options I have for screen sharing are "always ask" (default), which is set. The only other option I have is "block" which is not set.
My Firefox browser is up-to-date.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Could you test using the example on the Mozilla Developer Network page ("Result" section):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API/Using_Screen_Capture#result
That one works for me: I can share a specific window or Entire screen. Does that work on yours, or is Entire screen missing/blocked?
**Edit**
I run Windows, and I think the application-level permissions are different between macOS and Windows.
