Google does not support casting from other browsers besides Chrome.

It is not currently possible to cast from the Plex Media Player or Windows Store apps. In order to initiate a cast to your Chromecast device using Plex while on a normal computer, you’ll need to use a browser-specifically the Chrome browser. For instance, it’s possible to start the cast with one device and then connect to the Chromecast later from a completely different device to control the playback. When you use the Plex Web App to initiate a cast, the content does not go “through” that browser and then to the Chromecast. It’s important to note that the Chromecast streams content directly from the Plex Media Server.
