Public bug reported:

Starting from verstion 34.0, Firefox, including Ubuntu build thereof, supports WebRTC based voice/video communication feature named "Hello":
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hello-make-receive-calls-without-account

This feature works in Ubuntu build, except importing contacts from Google account:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106854
Attempt to import contacts results in this Google error page:
====
401. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_client

The OAuth client was not found.

    response_type=code
    redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto
    client_id=no-google-oauth-api-clientid
====

Apparently, for the import feature to work, the build needs to include Google OAuth Client ID. The process is discussed here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Loop/OAuth_Setup

Apparently, Ubuntu's build of Firefox does not include this Client ID.
Please consider adding it. Hopefully then "Hello" will be fully functional, including contacts import.
