35 improves on 34's Hello.  So says
http://thenextweb.com/apps/2014/12/04/firefox-35-beta-arrives-updated-hello-plugin-free-video-chat-functionality/
and
http://www.ghacks.net/2014/12/05/improvements-coming-to-firefoxs-real-time-chat-feature-hello/
I've found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8683830 which suggests
you need to enable it in 34!

That's because the blog author linked to
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#beta which is a moving target,
but the "Release Notes" link below it is to
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/34.0beta/releasenotes/  He was writing
about 34's beta.

Also,
http://www.tokbox.com/blog/firefox-hello-mozilla-enhances-opentok-powered-video-chat-service/
suggests that if both parties have Firefox accounts then no callback
link needs sharing;  "initiate calls directly from your contact list".

Cheers, Ralph.
