Heh, I came late to the thead and jumped to answer after I saw your first
two messages asking for help.
Glad to hear you've now solved the issue.
Idea to Emil and the rest of devs: perhaps you could make Jitsi "ping" the
jisti home page and if it cannot be reached alert the user that the system
firewall might be blocking it (Windows Firewall also likes to block Java
apps by default, we now see that Apple's apparently does too?)

Spot on, thanks! Mac Firewall was blocking all connections. Fixed, and
Jitsi works like a charm now.

The default firewall configuration will allow outbound connections and there doesn't need to be an exception for Jitsi inbound, so this doesn't really help. But a troubleshooting plugin under help might be an idea. Could you please log a feature-request on GitHub?
