Firefox Hello has been discontinued and removed from Firefox starting with version 49. This happened automatically when you updated Firefox -- no extra steps were needed.

Here are a few alternatives to Hello. We hope you’ll find one you’ll like:

Talky: Provides both video and screen sharing using WebRTC.

Cisco Spark: Create rooms for video calling, group messaging and sharing.

Appear.in: Group video calling for up to eight people.

Jitsi Meet: Group video calling and screen sharing using WebRTC.

Thank you for supporting the Hello beta. We will continue to develop and improve WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications), the underlying technology for Hello.

If you need help with any of these alternatives, please contact them directly.
