Is there a way to set a default webcam so website gets access to the not-first-camera by default?

Firefox will ask me if I want to allow a website to access my webcam - I do want the website to access my webcam. But when I choose the correct camera (3rd on the drop-down) and click allow, it just prompts me repeatedly (usually 2-3 times per session, every time I visit the page) if I want to use the camera & have to repeatedly select the 3rd camera on the list. If I check the box to "always allow" then firefox defaults to the first camera on the list, which is a view of my desktop, not actually my webcam (because that's what the first camera in the list is used for - displaying my desktop).

What I want is to set a specific camera to always be allowed on a website, but NEVER let the website have access to the other 4 cameras in the drop-down list. I'd even be okay permanently disabling those 4 cameras from Firefox because I only use them with other applications. I only want firefox to ever use the 3rd camera in the list exclusively, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

Facebook require a selfie to log in. I have one in my video camera but Facebook say I must provide access to my camera through my browser settings. I have searched browser settings but cant find anything that will satisfy Facebook. What can I do?

I tried logging into my account on a website. I decided to click on the passkey option to log in. Firefox had ask to access my passkeys and I mistakenly declined. But the pop-up doesn't happen again. It goes straight to "authentication failed" without trying to ask me again to access the passkeys. I don't see any setting for this in the settings page.

How do I change the permission to let Firefox access my passkeys? Or how do I make Firefox and Windows ask for my permission again?u I'd like to not have to reinstall Firefox if I could.

Dzień dobry Mam otworzone strony Facebook i Mesengera.com w przeglądarce i nie mogę wykonać połączenia wideo i dzwonić do osób prywatnych, na grupach to działa. Natomiast do osób prywatnych nie podświetlają się ikony telefonu i kamery i tym samym nie mogę się połączyć, jak to naprawić? W Chrome działa. Dzięki za pomoc.

I recently tried to connect to two different meeting sites. Both times I got a pop-up noting (correctly) that camera and microphone are blocked. I'm able to click to enable the microphone but I never get the option to enable the camera.

I tried going to Settings>Security&Privacy>Camera but that only allows me to remove previously-enabled websites.

Clicking on the settings button in the address bar shows audio and recording settings but no camera.

What am I doing wrong?

Fedora 42 Firefox 145.0

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. Whenever I load a website that needs location (for example, Google Maps or my province's lottery) and enable location permissions, the websites come back saying they cannot find my location.

I have refreshed Firefox, disabled all Enhanced Tracking Protection, disabled all extensions, and have even ran Firefox in Troubleshoot mode - all to no avail. Is there any way this can be fixed? These websites all work on Chrome and Edge and work on my Firefox for iPhone.
