It's not surprising that a sufficiently recent Firefox is particularly
good, because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC#Support includes 
'Mozilla Firefox 22+' -- v. 22 having been a mid-2013 release.  Even all
releases of the Firefox ESR (extended support release) edition are more
recent than that, so _theoretically_ you ought not to find older
Firefox, right?

Um, if only.  Turn out, you can find a lot of people running really old
Firefox versions.  And, funny thing, a lot of the really vague reports
of users claiming that they could never use Jitsi Meet say they are
running 'Firefox' but never give a clear answer if you ask the version
number.  Coincidence?  Maybe.

Earbuds fix the problem no matter what microphone and no matter where
it's located.  just sayin'.
