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.

I talk to friends on facebook/messenger. Previously my conversations were always on Firefox. But suddenly a couple of months ago I could no longer use my camera and my microphone on Firefox, and had to install a new browser. I have been trying several times to give Firefox permission to use my camera and my microphone, but sofar without success. What do I have to do?

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?

Hi, how do i enable microphone access to dictate to ChatGPT? When i go to my Monzilla Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone a window opens that states: the following websites have requested permission to your microphone. ChatGPT is not listed and there is no option to manually add a new permission. Can you help? Thank you

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.

I can't seem to locate how to activate the microphone in the AI sidebar. I have Gemini selected, and when I hit the microphone to dictate I get the following message.. Unable to access the microphone. Please check settings.

I looked through Firefox settings and my laptop's but I don't see where it is turned off or asking for activation.'
