+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1643027 +++

A recent UX redesign of our camera, microphone and screen-sharing notifications panel available in Nightly seems to assume either that:
 1. Firefox has global camera, microphone and screen-sharing controls, or
 2. Only one tab may share camera, microphone or screen capture at any one time.

Neither is the case: Firefox lets any number of tabs share any combination of camera, microphone, and screen capture at the same time, and Firefox does not implement user agent (UA) mute.

Any UX redesign needs to fit this model of use in multiple tabs. Any new feature-request like UA mute (bug 1643027) should come from a problem statement.

Example problem of new UX:
 1. Share your screen in two tabs https://whereby.com/adsfgsdfgsdfg and https://jan-ivar.github.io/dummy/gdm.html

In Firefox this produces a single notification banner with no indication requests are from different tabs or which tabs [Stop sharing] applies to.
