An initial version is implemented in Licode’s “cleanup” branch (by the moment it only works between peers using the [...]
Licode now supports Firefox
Today we've finished the main tasks of making Licode compatible with Firefox.
Now users can access Licode rooms from stable versions of Chrome and Firefox. If you're developing a solution with Licode and can't wait to try this new functionality you have to pull the code from the "cleanup" branch.

And then publish it in a room in the traditional way. Instructions in
