The firefox side of things should be covered, but it's pending a mutter update
in hirsute (bug #1730612).
It is highly unlikely that this will be backported to focal or groovy though.
I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #1730612, if it still doesn't
work after the mutter fix lands in hirsute, please de-duplicate. Thanks!

Title:
No screen sharing on Firefox with Wayland
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
On Ubuntu 20.04.2 or 20.10, if I switch to a Wayland session, and open
Firefox (currently 85.0.1) on a site using some screen sharing, Firefox does
not list the available windows but only a line "Use operating system settings".
After choosing this only option, nothing happens and my screen is not shared.
When using the default Xorg session, Firefox lists the available
windows and allows to share them.
Steps to reproduce :
- open a Wayland session
- open Firefox on https://meet.jit.si/
- start a conference and join it
- try to share your screen (icon of a screen at the bottom left)
Expected behavior : Firefox should ask me which window to share (like
on Xorg)
Actual behavior : Firefox does not list any window, but only a "Use
operating system settings" line, and selecting it does nothing
NB : installing and starting pipewire (as suggested in
http://jgrulich.cz/2018/07/04/how-to-enable-and-use-screen-sharing-on-wayland/)
does not help
NB2 : the behavior is the same on other sites, like Google Meet
