What can I do to fix it? Permissions are granted, so I have no clue what's going on.

I have tried:

- Restarting the computer several times - Restarting Firefox several times - Clearing cache and cookies - Refreshing Firefox to default settings - Updating Firefox - Uninstalling and re-installing Firefox

The weird thing here is that I have not changed any settings whatsoever, and, when I try to use the camera in Chrome it works, as well as in Zoom. Now, when I created a secondary profile in Firefox, it did work there too. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

If you've turned off the camera or microphone access, you can turn on those permissions by accessing your device Settings > Apps menu. From there you can enable the camera and microphone permissions from the Permissions submenu for the Firefox app

Well I actually did not turn off the access. It's just not working. But permissions are on, for both camera and microphone. Any ideas on how I can fix it? Thank you so much

Please read How to manage your camera and microphone permissions with Firefox and confirm that camera permissions are turned on in Firefox.
