Here is the page. I type a website address in the box that says "Search Website" and nothing happens when I click the Save button.

I have Firefox set to Private Browsing. I will try it without this setting and update this question if things change.

You should use the standard first before going private. And is your webcam working or did you test it before using this?

I tried standard, with the same result. My camera works on Opera on the site in question.

Hello hooverjo,

The context menu, shown in your screenshot : that is where you remove the site your granted permission for.

I'm not sure if the following is what you did earlier, but just in case you didn't - would you please try this :

When you're on that site, click on the 'i' in a circle, next to the padlock at the left side of the address bar. That will take you to "Page Info". Then click on the little black arrow on the dropdown and then on "More Information". Click on the 'Permissions" tab and scroll down to "Use the Camera". Uncheck "Use Default" and check "Allow".

Then close and restart Firefox.

Does that work  ?

I followed your instructions and the web cam is now recognized under Permissions and the indicator light on it turns green. However, the video feed to the site is a blank screen. I don't have this problem with Opera.

Would you try this please :

Clear the Firefox cache :

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-stored (scroll down to : "Delete cookies for a single site")

Does that make a difference  ?

I followed your instructions and also used CC Cleaner. The camera did not work after rebooting my laptop, despite being recognized and turning on.

I decided to turn off my laptop overnight. This morning the webcam worked immediately! Thanks for your help. I figure that all of this needed to be re-done after the last update, and that my laptop needed 8 hours of rest.

Sometimes it can help to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer in case other software is using a device.

I just noticed that you marked one of my posts as Chosen Solution, but I didn't really solve your problem though .... (?)
