When do you get asked for permission to access (use) that camera?

Historically, access to the camera was only available through plugins like Flash. The Flash DLL runs in the plugin-container.exe process; if protected mode is in effect, it may also run outside of that process.

I suspect that access through native APIs (e.g., navigator.mozGetUserMedia) is rare on the desktop. I don't recall getting any requests for it so far personally.

Hi. I believe what you say to be true. that firefox itself has no reason to access the camera. however I noticed on the Android version it request permissions for camera/microphone.

There should be no operational difference between workstation Firefox or Android should there?

I think the camera is one of the most popular features of a smartphone. For efficiency, users may want to capture a photo directly to a form on a web page rather than having to attach it from the gallery. Not that I can recall ever doing that...
