Hi Waynem, could you give a more specific example of the permission request. For example:

  • When you visit a specific page, Firefox says the site wants permission to access your camera/microphone, or your location, etc.?

Or is this coming from a different program, such as your security software?

Do you run Firefox as Administrator as that allows you to make changes that you can't do as a normal user?

You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.

Make sure all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected

Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder.
