I think you only disallowed it for that website. Do you recall what website it was? To undo that decision, return to that website and call up the Permissions panel of the Page Info dialog using any of these:

  • right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Permissions
  • (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
  • click the padlock or "i" icon to the left of the site address, then the ">" icon, then More Information > Permissions

Scroll down to "Use the Camera" and re-check the "Use default" box or select a specific permission. Same for "Use the Microphone".

There's no Save button, your changes are saved as you go, so you can close the Page Info dialog when you're done.

Does that work?
