You do want to be looking at the whole picture though, not just
firefox. Those numbers are way too low to be your online meeting.

You might want to track total in/out bytes of the interface. Before
and after your meeting run ifconfig -a. For each interface, you should
see a line like:

          RX bytes:7251003175 (7.2 GB)  TX bytes:282820023 (282.8 MB)

Or, if you like iproute2 tools instead, ip -s link, where you will see
lines like this:

   RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped overrun mcast
    7255250852 7218804  0       0       0       0
    TX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped carrier collsns
    284958814  1699378  0       0       0       0

Subtracting the before numbers from the after numbers, you should get
the aggregate "during" numbers.
