From past experiences, it'll be because it uses WebRTC, and neither Firefox nor Chrome are bug-free in their WebRTC implementations, plus Firefox (by default, at least) has a different set of codecs to Chrome. I therefore suspect that Slack engineers just assume that your WebRTC implementation has Chrome's set of codecs and Chrome's set of bugs, and refuses to work in Firefox because Firefox isn't going to be bug-for-bug identical to Chrome.

OK, I see. That's too bad. I use the really excellent Galene videoconferencing software, which does use WebRTC and it works fine in both Firefox and Chrome. So that's just laziness on the part of Slack.
